char *a[] = { "hi","hello","how are you" };
CStringArray array;

for (int i = 0; i < sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]); i++)
{
    array.Add(a[i]);
}

sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]) is the number of string literals in the a array, that is 3.

@MahekShah strange, it compiles here. What is your OS, compiler, IDE etc. ?

@VladFeinstein, yes they do, you must download an addon from Microsoft. The URL is specified in the error message displayed by VS when you try to compile an MBCS program without the addon installed. They added this soon after VS2012 came out, because there is still tons of legacy code out there which is being maintained.

Proposing to use MBCS for new code is questionable. Just because Microsoft released a package supporting MBCS for MFC does not mean, one should be using it without a striking reason. The array should be declared constant as well: const char* const a[] ....
