How can I create a guid in MFC

Question

I need to be able to create guids on the fly. Is there a way to do that in MFC? I see how to do it in .net, but we haven't gone there yet. If not, do you have pointers to some code I can use?

   //don't forget to add Rpcrt4.lib to your project

    CString m_ListID(L"error");
    RPC_WSTR guidStr;
    GUID guid;
    HRESULT hr = CoCreateGuid(&guid);
    if (hr == S_OK)
    {
        if(UuidToString(&guid, &guidStr) == RPC_S_OK)
        {
            m_ListID = (LPTSTR)guidStr;
            RpcStringFree(&guidStr);
        }
    }
