Huh?  It should go in the client area.....  Yep, went into the client 
area on my test.  Have you done anything funny with the mapping mode or 
fonts?  BTW, you should do painting in Paint() which is automatically 
called when the window needs painting.  You are passed a DC to use.  
Typically you call functions such as your ShowText, but pass them the 
provided DC to use.

Check out TFont.  You specify a name and point size (can leave the rest 
default).
 
  TFont font("Arial", 72);  // you should be able to read this!
  dc.SelectObject(font);
  dc.TextOut(10, 10, "Hello world");  // length not needed
  dc.RestoreFont();
