VistaTaskDialog?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello,
I am so happy to see vistataskdialog finally with suite pro. now, I was checking the sample, and I love it, but I was wondering about how to have a taskdialog just like "Dialog6" (sample tab). do I have to use XML file in order to have the same dialog, or is there any easy way to do it?
thank you,
Note: Codejock developer, keep the good work

	Hello cmm2006, I translate the 'dialog6' in code: Private Sub Dialog006_Click() With TaskDialog .Reset .CommonButtons = 0 .AllowCancellation = True .EnableHyperlinks = True .WindowTitle = "Microsoft Windows" .MainInstructionText = "Your computer is almost out of virtual memory" .ContentText = "To prevent information loss, save your files and close your programs. If that doesn't fix the problem, try restarting your computer." .ExpandedInformationText = "If restarting doesn't work, you can <a href=""http://www.microsoft.com"">Read more</a>" .ExpandFooterArea = True .ExpandedControlText = "Less Information" .CollapsedControlText = "More Information" .CommonButtons = xtpTaskButtonClose .MainIcon = xtpTaskIconWarning .ShowDialog End With End Sub You're right this a great update. I've not finished to explore all the new possibilities.

	...but the height of the buttons are too small. Is there any way to set the buttons-height greater?

	You can set 'EnableCommandLinks' property to True, to get bigger buttons : TaskDialog.CommonButtons = 0 TaskDialog.AddButton "Close", 100 TaskDialog.EnableCommandLinks = True

	Hello cmm2006, A translation of Dialog2: Private Sub Dialog2_Click() With TaskDialog .Reset .CommonButtons = 0 .AllowCancellation = True .EnableHyperlinks = True .WindowTitle = "Microsoft Windows" .MainInstructionText = "Do you want Windows to automatically install updates?" .ContentText = "With automatic updates, Windows periodically checks for new security updates, program improvements, etc. and installs them for you." .MainIcon = xtpTaskIconInformation .AddButton "Turn on Automatic Updates now" & vbLf & "(recommended)", 1 .AddButton "Ask me later" & vbLf & "Your computer will be more vulnerable to security problems until you turn on automatic updates.", 2 .DefaultButton = 1 .EnableCommandLinks = True .ShowDialog End With End Sub I think it's more usable than xml files.

	Thank you very much, and you are right abou the XML file. is there anyway I can change the green arrow in each button to another icon or picture that I like to use?

	I don't find a way to use another icon than the green arrow. I just find the ShowCommandLinkIcons property to display or not the standard task dialog glyph. Perhaps, it's a good idea to put this in the wish list : CommandLinkIconHandle property to set the handle of a custom icon for Command Links.
