dialog?

Now I only need a way to convert this from clumsy Win32 to
cleaner MFC:

RECT rect;
HDC hdc;
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
if (!(hdc = ::BeginPaint(this->m_hWnd, &ps) ) )
::MessageBox(this->m_hWnd, L"BeginPaint() failed",
L"error", NULL);
SetTextColor(hdc, RGB(0, 0, 0) );
SetBkColor(hdc, RGB(245, 245, 245) );
::GetClientRect(this->m_hWnd, &rect);
if (!TextOut(hdc, 45, 45, L"this is a test", 14) )
::MessageBox(this->m_hWnd, L"TextOut() failed",
L"error", NULL);
::EndPaint(this->m_hWnd, &ps);

Put the text in a static control and move the control to where you want the
text to go?
