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...

Is there a reason the expand button in XP etc. shows as square button, does it not drawn it's own button with same look ???

Any help appreciated
