Well, the quotes make it hard to get to the indicated pointer, but other than that, it looks fine (assuming you're using MFC).

It is perfectly legit code, so the compiler was of no help at all...
It did look odd in the running dialog though!

That's some funny stuff to deal with on a Monday morning!
So, you now have a button (or whatever cb is), that's labelled pSettings->sColName.

Nothing's wrong with it. It compiles and executes without error.
If it fails to do wanted you wanted then that's not the computer's problem. Perhaps you should lower your expectations and try again.

No error, "pSettings->sColName" is a quite descriptive text...

Ah, a common error. Let me fix it for you:

The user should spot it quite quickly, in my opinion. The window/button/caption labeled "pSettings->sColName" is not intuitive in the UI...

It should have been:
#include "tchar.h"
...
cb->SetWindowText(_T("pSettings->sColName"));so that you could easily compile for either MBCS or UNICODE  .

Well done Annie, but well after the three hours allowed.

This article[^] does a good job dissecting the mangling, mauling and mutilation of contents on the path from paper to abstract to news bite.
I couldn't find a link to the original paper, though. Maybe it's actually about the bacon affinity of hamsters.

Interesting: I've always had my doubts as to the efficacy of TDD as opposed to write first/test after. That has always felt a more efficient use of time and resource especially in high throughput agile environments where the pressure is on to produce code and applications and where project managers have made delivery promises that the developers are hard pressed to keep.

I think the idea of test-first is exactly for that environment. When the pressure is to produce code and meet deliveries, if the testing is left until later, to often drops off as there's "more important" tasks at hand.

I think it more appropriate to waterfall/strategic rather than agile/tactical projects. Mind you, I'm not advocating no testing at all! There is, of course, in progress testing which makes more sense to me as it becomes part of the development cycle rather than a separate process which may end up having little relevance as needs and time lines change.
