[FIXED] How to use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS

Issue

I have compile error in my simple MFC window application generated from wizard with several lines of code:

error C4996: 'strncpy': This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using strncpy_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See online help for details.

I set Configuration Properties>>C/C++>>Preporocessor>>Preprocessor Definitions>> _CRT_NONSTDC_NO_WARNINGS

But this does't helped. I have another very close project that generates only warning in this place and it has no _CRT_NONSTDC_NO_WARNINGS definition.

Only difference between projects is several different options in wizard.

Why _CRT_NONSTDC_NO_WARNINGS does not helps in first project and why second project compiles without problems without this definition?
