Obviously MS Vista isn't out yet, but there are several examples available: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/UxGuide/UXGuide/Resources/WhatsNewInVista/TaskDialogs.asp?frame=true - http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/UxGuide/UXGuide/Resources/WhatsNewInVista/TaskDialogs.asp?frame=true http://www.interact-sw.co.uk/iangblog/2005/12/21/taskdialog - http://www.interact-sw.co.uk/iangblog/2005/12/21/taskdialog http://weblogs.asp.net/kennykerr/archive/2006/07/18/Windows-Vista-for-Developers-_1320_-Part-2-_1320_-Task-Dialogs-in-Depth.aspx - http://weblogs.asp.net/kennykerr/archive/2006/07/18/Windows-Vista-for-Developers-_1320_-Part-2-_1320_-Task-Dialogs-in-Depth.aspx Does CodeJock have any plans to support the new Task Dialog, and more importantly, does CodeJock plan on implementing a class that will be backward compatible with Windows 2000 and Windows XP? |

It sure seems like the task dialog is one of those ideas that are just "obvious" after you've seen it. It makes all of the calls to MessageBox that I've ever coded just look awful. Thanks for the reply. If you need a beta tester, let me know  Eric |

+1 vote for the TaskDialog in XTP. There is an implementation on CodeProject which mimicks the API of the original TaskDialog and is therefore a drop in replacement. I guess that's a better solution than a proprietary API. http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/taskdialogs.asp - http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/taskdialogs.asp ------------- Codejock support |

Thanks for all of your suggestion. We have actually been developing a fully functional Vista like TaskDialog that can be used on all supported Windows platforms. This will be introduced with our ToolkitPro 2007 release that is scheduled for release shortly.
Kind regards, Kirk Stowell CodejockSoftware |

 It would be nice to have a Beta of the 2007 release so that new features can be integrated and tested early. This also gives your customers the change to report bugs, in the past the first quarterly release had always show stopping bugs and limitations. ------------- Codejock support |

Although I have never hit a show-stopper I would be very happy to try a beta in my software which makes very heavy use ofToolkitPro. I also have a few dumb users and very also some excellent testers (the guys who really get annoying). ------------- Simon HB9DRV |

| Will this feature also be included in the XtremeSuite (ActiveX) ? |

 Will it be a full implementation of the Vista TaskDialog API? Will it transparently fall back to the native implementation on Vista? |
