Donno how to work with C++ so I am commenting 7assab ma fhemet the code based on my knowledge of VB.NET

1-" case 'a':
case 'A':"

in VB.NET you can uppercase or lower case the input (UCase, or LCase) that should remove 1 case through the code and make it smaller if it can be done in C++.
if it can't you should write a function (if they exist in C++) that does that, it will come in handy in big apps.

Kamena about the program, why don't you take the ascii chart, and lets say "A"'s ASCII # is 13 (it's not, I am just giving an example) you can make the app take the ascii # and do minus "ASC(A) - 1" ya3neh for A we will have:

Result = 13 (A's number) - 12 (A-1) that will give 1, for B it will be 14 - 12 = 2 w ... this way you could make one very small code and loop it arround the whole text!
