    Then you want to learn MFC.
    Or you could just learn string instead.

    You are suppose to include atlstr.h for non-MFC version of CString. and cstringt.h for MFC version. Then you need to use the member function GetBuffer() to get the pointer to the actual string stored internally or else you get the hex address of the data.

    It don't matter how we make it
    'Cause it always ends the same
    You can push it for more mileage
    But your flaps r' wearin' thin
    And I could sleep on it 'til mornin'
    But this nightmare never ends
    Don't forget to call my lawyers
    With ridiculous demands
    An you can take the pity so far
    But it's more than I can stand
    'Cause this couchtrip's gettin' older
    Tell me how long has it been
    'Cause 5 years is forever
