I know from the SDK that there are only four types of icons available in the vista task dialog:

TD_WARNING_ICON

TD_ERROR_ICON

TD_INFORMATION_ICON

TD_SHIELD_ICON

Why no "TD_QUESTION_ICON"? It makes no sense. Have I misunderstood the concept of task dialogs?

If not, do you think that you could add a question icon as an extra feature?

Hi,

Seems Microsoft's guys forgot about Question mark. They have it in patent and in Guidelines but not in SDK headers.

True, but they also do not recommend using question mark for questions. It seems reasonable, so I'll just stick to the information-icon.
