This is unbelievable to me, and I do not know how to work around this problem! I try to put [4]0.004 into an EditBox Control and what appears in the EditBox is 0.004[4]. Same result is obtained with parenthesis and braces. Then with -4-0.004 I get 4-0.004-. Here is simplified code that reproducers the problem:

void CMyDlg::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX)
{
    CString test = _T("[4]0.004");
    DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_TX_CELL_MAX_V, test);
}

The EditBox control is defined in the .rc file as:

    EDITTEXT        IDC_TX_CELL_MAX_V,100,121,58,15,ES_CENTER | ES_READONLY | NOT WS_BORDER,WS_EX_RTLREADING | WS_EX_STATICEDGE

And Here is the image on the screen:

How do I work around this problem?
