New essay: ToString

So I had to take time to watch the plumbers replace a leaky valve...so I spent the time
writing a little essay on a function called ToString, which takes a formatting string and
arguments and lets you write something like

c_Coordinates.SetWindowText( ToString( _T("(%d,%d)"), pt.x, pt.y) );

note that no intermediate CString variable or FormatString was required. It is so simple
(6 lines of code) that there isn't even a download, you can copy right off the Web page
(it is overloaded so there is a form that takes a UINT which is a STRINGTABLE form, and
that takes a whopping eight lines total!)

Now if I could only get them to help me with my current handle leak...
