Thanks Oleg. That works.

So the encoding='UTF-8' seems to cause a problem with old Win98 computer.

(Hmm... we still need to explain why the CJ Sample also works, even though it does include UTF-8, but I am not going to worry about that :-)

Thanks again for your help.

What if you remove only "encoding='UTF-8'" part of instruction ? Maybe indeed has old parser that don't know about UTF-8.]]> Wed, 23 Feb 2011 10:48:34 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17067&PID=62915&title=solved-taskdialog-problem-win98#62915 <![CDATA[<SOLVED> TaskDialog problem Win98 : This code works on all PCs &#039;...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17067&PID=62904&title=solved-taskdialog-problem-win98#62904 Author: chrisABC

This code works on all PCs

    ' myXML = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>"

    myXML = myXML & "<Dialogs xmlns='anyold123232312stringhere'>"
    myXML = myXML & "<Dialog Name='Dialog007' AllowCancel='true' EnableHyperlinks='true'
                    MessageBoxStyle='true'>"
    myXML = myXML & "<MainInstruction Image='*Warning'>
                    Do you want to open or save this file?</MainInstruction>"
    myXML = myXML & "<Content>A simple text message here</Content>"
    myXML = myXML & " <Buttons Default='2'> <Cancel/> <Button ID='100'>&amp;Open</Button>
                    <Button ID='101'>&amp;Save</Button> </Buttons>"
    myXML = myXML & "<Verification Checked='true'>&amp;Always ask before open</Verification>"
    myXML = myXML & "<Footer Image='*Shield'>While files from Internet can be useful,
                  some files can potentially harm your computer. If you do not trust the source,
                   do not open or save this file. &lt;a href='http://www.microsoft.com'&gt;
                    What's the risk?&lt;/a&gt;</Footer>"
    myXML = myXML & " </Dialog>"
    myXML = myXML & "</Dialogs>"

    TaskDialog1.CreateFromXML myXML, "Dialogs/Dialog[@Name='Dialog007']"
   
    TaskDialog1.ShowDialog

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that the first line is commented out.

If I put the first line back, then the code works on MOST computers. But on a couple of WIN98 PCs this code does not work -- just gives CJ CONTROLS error.

If I create an error in the XML (eg. remove a > bracket) then I get this error on all PCs.
So it looks like something on the WIN98 PC is finding an error in the XML when that first line is there.  (But more modern PCs do not show error).

Do you know what files in Windows are used by TaskDialog to interpret the XML?  (I am thinking, maybe WIN98 has an old version .....)

If I leave off the first line for ALL computers, could this cause any problem??  (It seems to work OK)

OK, I have done this and sent it to customer to test.

(I am puzzled because your original TaskDialog Sample works OK on his PC. And your sample includes the Schema line... ??)

Sorry if I confused you Oleg.

I do not load XML from disk file. But I create XML string in the program, then pass it to TaskDialog

Actually it was my first question in this thread "Do you manuall set all parameters or load them from XML"

So you load it from XML in your application too?

I have isolated the problem. Please can you help explain what is happening.

This works fine on Win98 PC.

Hi,

Another thing to check - if you set properties in PropertyBrowser try set them in code instead.
