MSDN defines C2352 as this: "A static member function called a nonstatic member function. Or, a nonstatic member function was called from outside the class as a static function."
Unfortunately, it doesn't mention how one would go about calling a non-static member method from outside the class as a non-static function. I got the error on this code:frmMain::AddDebug(szTextBuffer, Drawing::Color::Red);Can anyone clarify why the compiler thinks I am trying to call a static method, and what to do about it? Both class member-methods are non-static and public.

You create an instance of that class and call the member method.

Going by what you're telling us, it sounds like frmMain is a class (not an instance of a class). You need to create an instance of frmMain, then call the method from that instance. You're also using the scope operator which, in this case, is used to call a static function.
To add on to what dxoigmn said, you'll want to use the object dereference operator (myFrmMain->AddDebug()), or the dot operator (myFrmMain.AddDebug()), depending on whether your object is on the stack. Most likely, you'll have a pointer, so you'll want to use the first.
