CString str = CString::Format("number=%d", number); // DOES NOT WORK

as Java supports. But instead we have to do:

CString str; str.Format("number=%d", number); // Works but ugly

Here's a solution, use this function:

CString CStringFormat(LPCTSTR format, ...) { va_list ap; CString str; va_start(ap, format); str.FormatV(format, ap); va_end(ap); return str; }

Now you can do:

CString str = CStringFormat("number=%d", number); // Works and pretty
