I agree about CodeProject and CodeGuru. There are obviously some bad
programs there, but I've found that even the bad ones sometimes have a good
tip that sets one in the right direction and still appreciate the author's
sharing. It just means we can't take anything face value and actually have
to know what we're doing and test out code out even if we get it from
someone else. :o)

Do not dismiss the whole of CodeProject just because some examples there
are less than ideal. There is a tremendous wealth of knowledge and
pre-written code, mostly free for reuse.
I always cringe when I read someone using the word "unusable".

How do I show an animated gif on my CDialog window? Does visual studio
2008
offers a built in solution?

It's not "built-in", but maybe this is helpful: "Add GIF-animation to
your MFC and ATL projects with the help of CPictureEx and
CPictureExWnd" at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/graphics/pictureex.aspx

I have no experience with this code, and cannot give a recommendation
on whether it is good or bad. Caveat emptor

codeproject is not professional code (plenty of bugs and beginner
practices, unusable in production environment)
You don't need anything to load an animated Gif in pure C/Win32 (embed it
with COM host control)
