Password

[Drue]

If you can and if it's not asking too much, can you make it so it shows "Welcome" or just a "*" while you put information in.

yeah no problem dude... I had so business to attend to yesterday so I'll get working on the code today and should be posted today

I couldn't Include a lot more stuff because my compiler was being suckish and has a intellisense bug(something that you get from microsoft compilers) so A ton of my code had to be removed, including the encryption portion unfortunately... I was able to salvage some of it though. My coding technique and clarity are kinda bad here... But I had to do it quick, while working around my buggy compiler.

Anyways, Full Source Code... Not sure if it will work with your compiler though, there are some specialties.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>                // File Stream... I believe your familiar
#include <string>
#include <Windows.h>              // This enables special features such as Sleep... Very useful but constrains your api to windows only of course.
#include <time.h>
#include "conio.h"                // This allows getch/ get character to be used. getch can be used to get a character or generically make a pause/continue.

Thanks. I have to edit just a little bit (like the Path) cause this is XP.
I had to take the first line out of the full screen command.
SetForegroundWindow(GetConsoleWindow()); // All these 5 lines are used to make the window fullscreen. In my experience it always runs with XP,

BTW it doesn't record the Password. It show's the username but not the password. Just asking, is there a way we could type in word like 'new' or 'reset', then it let us reset our passwords. And it would look for the file then compare passwords.

this is just part of the whole thing (in pseudo code)

Look for szUsername.txt. // Where username.txt would be C:\Password Log\[Username.txt] (Username would be the variable.0
If found
{ read then open,
Enter password
if password == whatever's in the Username.txt
Exit}

It's a download for the compiler I use. (If you want to use it.)

As some people have already, I just thought I'd warn you that this won't stop someone determined to get past it. ALT+F4 will most likely close it. On the other hand, there's no harm in having a play around :) Just so long as you know that it's far from fool proof...

[Drue]

Alt+F4 won't close it. As long as it is in fullscreen. I know that combination and I've tried it. You could open task manager, but other than that I'm pretty sure it's fine for what I need it for. I'm sure there's some code that makes it a priority and won't let you do anything else until you type in the password.

^^^^^^^^^^^ Thats an exert from my code for the more advanced program I'm making. I posted the link to download in a previous reply. Ifstream and Ostream don't work in Windows Applications so I found that code on Microsoft.com, but it wont' work. That's just for me to see if it worked which it didn't. TxtbPrayName is the name of the text box under 'Do you have the need' that asks for your name. I want it to save that to a file, but when I tried this out, even this wouldn't work. Help?

[helios]

That's CLI/C++ (.NET and C++'s bastard child), not C++.

Ifstream and Ostream don't work in Windows Applications

Yes, they do. What doesn't work is sending output to stdout or getting input from stdin (although I believe it's possible to tell Windows to redirect stdout to a file).

[Drue]

Do you know how?

[Bombsaway707]

@DoTTGaMMa What a coincidence.. I found you on this site....Lol, funny cause i was looking up stuff on here because of Ms.Hunter's Project

[desoxena]

I'm surprised Duoas hasn't burned you for this; Try to refrain from using system() commands-- for color, use things like SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), *color number here*); and all you have to do to use this, is #include <Windows.h>
