void CExoView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)

{

CHAR *StrName = "Euzhan Palcy";

pDC->TextOut(20, 22, StrName, 12);

}

If you are writing for an international audience and involve unicode in your application,

you can declare the string using the TCHAR data type:

void CExoView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)

{

TCHAR *StrName = "Euzhan Palcy";

pDC->TextOut(20, 22, StrName, 12);

}

Alternatively, you can use _TCHAR to declare such a variable. Normally, to initialize a

null-terminated string variable for an international audience, you should use the _T, the

TEXT or the _TEXT macros. Here is an example:

void CExoView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)

{

char *StrName = _T("Euzhan Palcy");

pDC->TextOut(20, 22, StrName, 12);

}

You can also initialize a string variable with a value that spans various lines. To do this,

when creating the string, end each line with a double-quote and start the other with

another double-quotes. Here is an example:

void CExerciseDlg::OnMsgBox()

{

// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here

char Sentence[] = "The name you entered is not in our records.\n"

"If you think there is a mistake, please contact HR.\n"

"You can also send an email to [email protected]";

MessageBox(Sentence);

}

The Standard Template Library (STL) provides a class that can be used for string

manipulation. This class is called basic_string and it was type-defined as string. To use
