Not sure if it's just my messed up work connection, but what I'm seeing appears to be missing either images or code snippet blocks. ex
Quote: General dialog box workflow
Defines a dialog class, you can use the dialog class to declare a dialog object, that is, a dialog box is displayed on the screen.
Really looks like it should have a code sample between the two paragraphs.

That's more or less what I saw, other than not scrolling down to the bottom to see the code listing. The way the chunk of text (and a few others below it) read, I was expecting to see code snippets interspersed between them.

that looks like it could be simplified to
Steal Rodgers Whisky -> Hide -> Get Drunk. 
Which pleasurable as it may be, (until Rodger found me anyway) isn't really going to do much to help me out.

No, sorry it won't... 
I guess MFC isn't that bad - but for me it's tightly tied into my BIG ball of mud, so this picture was my first association

Crazy declarative syntax that wires up low level Window's messages to C++ class functions that it binds to. Can't remember how, though I even wrote one of those things 30 years ago when I discovered that Borland had a cool way of doing it but Microsoft hadn't caught on yet.

That's about the extent of my recollection too.

(Don't want to write that) there was a PDF version of this book online.

That's about the right era, if perhaps a single generation early; the people who brought it to us were running it on an NT4(!) box. Was it any good...

MFC is still mostly the same.
If I remember correctly, the resource wizard was removed in VS2003 and VS2005 (?), but was re-added later on.
The latest version (implementation) is a little bit more C++ compliant; but there is still a lot of gunk in there.
The new controls (if you have VS2008 or a newer versions) are nice and offer a number of more modern controls (the MFC Feature Pack)
I'd rather be phishing!

I'll keep that in mind if we end up doing a major UI update. Multiple small windows floating around the main dialog is far from my favorite UI paradigm. 
What we're going to do now that my PM (who used to be an MFC dev back in the day) got it building in VS2010 and fixed all of the compiler warnings is still rather up in the air.

But if you're going to use the MFC Feature Pack you have to be cautious about the fact that Microsoft simply bought it from an outside vendor and added it to the feature set with most of its rough edges still intact. See for example, this[^] exploration of the CMFCLinkCtrl class intended for use with hyperlinks. Among other things it included hard-coded fonts.

Around the platform here in the arabian gulf the sea life is just amazing compared to the that of the North Sea.
Lots of different types of fish, from big long things that wander about, to the shorter thin arrow like things that jump out of the water on mass when the sharks or dolphins come in about.
Then there are long fat headed things with shiny blue fins.....Coming into Whale Shark season in the area as well which could be interesting.
As you can see from above I'm no fish name expert! 
I only know the name of the Whale Sharks because there is a new procedure in place for the season limiting vessel speeds etc.)
Oh, and hello all by the way!

This book is brilliant for fish in Middle Eastern waters[^] - I know you're not in the Red Sea, but the fishies will be just about the same:
