RE: ATL::CString doesn't have conversion operator for LPTSTR...

Hi Richard,

> While playing around with DDX and WTL, I got a compilation error for the 
DDX_TEXT macro saying "cannot convert parameter 2 from 'ATL::CString' to 
'LPTSTR'".

add a LPTSTR conversion operator is obviously not ideal, so any ideas on

I've not seen this with DDX.

Without digging through the code I can't be sure, but surely with LPTSTR
being a non-const type adding a conversion operator would be dangerous at
best.

operator LPCTSTR() is of course a different beast entirely. That's
definitely there - I use it all the time.

Or am I missing something? (possible - it's nearly midnight and I'm about to
crash).
