bug in CStatic text box ?

[Z.K.]

I have a string of converted hex values to ascii as in é"r% & *![^!'P. It
displays okay in a MessageBox and an Edit control, but in a CStatic text
box, some of the characters are incorrect as in é"r% _*![^!'P. Is this
normal or a bug in VC++. Is there a way to fix this so it displays
correctly?

Why would I want to display such a string? Because it is a special code for
a barcode that enables a bluetooth radio. It does have a purpose and I can
get around this problem by using an Edit control, but I was wondering if
there is a fix for this problem that I am having.

SS_NOPREFIX

"Unless this style is specified, Windows will interpret any ampersand
(&) characters in the control's text to be accelerator prefix
characters. In this case, the ampersand is removed and the next
character in the string is underlined. If a static control is to
contain text where this feature is not wanted, SS_NOPREFIX may be
added."
