I think you can use the WebBrowser ActiveX control. Go to dialog editor, right-click on dialog, select Insert ActiveX Control, and then select Microsoft Web Browser. Then create a control variable for this new control. Next call Navigate2 member function in this manner:

_bstr_t urll1(_T("file://path-to-your-html-file"));
_variant_t url2 = url1;
m_cMyControl.Navigate2(&url2, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);

Alternatively, you can format a nice message using some editor (like Write) and save as RTF file or resource. Then load this content to a rich-edit control (CRichEditCtrl). I hope this helps.
