    nm i think i got it. Though I get an error when I try to use CString:

    Code:
    error C2065: 'CString' : undeclared identifier
    error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'str'
    error C2065: 'str' : undeclared identifier
    I have windows.h and string.g included.

    from UINT to CString:
    CString str;
    str.Format("%i", 123);

    Is it even possible to use CString in straight win32 API or is it MFC specific?

    nope, it's not in Win32 API, you can use it in MFC.

    Is there an alternative I can use?

    I could use <string> but how can I convert from UINT to string and back?

    The STL has a the sstream header.

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <sstream>
    
    int main(void) {
      using namespace std;
    
      istringstream from;
      ostringstream to;
      int i;
    
      to << 15;
    
      cout << to.str() << endl;
    
      from = to.str();
      from >> i;
    
      cout << i << endl;
    
      return 0;
    }
    That doesn't have anything to so with MFC however this code should be useful.
