1. Yes, use void ShowProgressBar(BOOL bShow, BOOL bMarquee = FALSE) with bMarquee = TRUE. and call StartProgressBarMarquee from OnDialogConstructed method. But Marquee style supported by OS from WinXP and higher :(
2. no.

Ok on how to activate wait dialog, but using Modal Dialog I have to move all business logic into a CTaskDialog-derived class or use (that is impossible in my case) timer callbacks.
Any other way ?

CXTPTaskDialog is CDialog - derived. There's no reason why it couldn't be used as modeless. I do not understand the immediate "No" from Oleg.... |

Hi,
Actually if you don't plan to use Vista version in Vista OS - you can use it modeless - but disable using comctl32 version in Vista.
Than I wrote - I mean that Vista's TaskDialog doesn't support modeless.

This shouldn't be a problem. CodeJock's implementation of TaskDialog as just as good (barring the compitability bug with <br/> \n formatting), and I even like it more than Vista's native for the way it expands details - damn slow on Vista, dunno why, but fast in the CodeJock's version... |
