I've used 'std::string' under Visual C++.  I'm not familiar with 'CString',
but it would probably not be too hard to convert between real strings and
'CString'.  Something like this:

std::string s(zxczcCString.GetTheStupidCharacterArrayPointer());
s = std::string(s.begin(), s.end() - 1);
zxczcCString = CString(s.c_str());

This would obviously be bad for performance, but at least it minimizes
dependence on proprietary classes.  This is for when the API demands
'CString'.
