that would realy help!
Well as always there are tons of articles and samples available on msdn.microsoft.com
Also is a great place for MFC code.
> I want to insert an image in my dialog
Well the term 'image' in this context is ambiguous. If you want to use bitmaps from your applications resources this is very simple using MFC support including CBitmap and it's member functions to load the bitmaps resources. Then you can place a 'Picture' control from the Tool Palette on your dialog and change the images using a CStatic control for the Picture control.
Now if you want to read gif and jpg's from the disk it's whole other operation entirely.
> Animation woould also be great.
Before writing code to 'swap' images to generate animation you might want to look at the 'Animate' control in the Tool Palette and it's associated CAmimateCtrl MFC class.
Hope this helps
