Vista Task Dialogs

[redskull]

If anyone is interested, here are my notes from adventuring around with Task Dialogs, edited and with examples.  Say what you will about Vista, but these things are the most useful thing to come out of Windows since the start menu.  Perhaps it will help newcomers to the assembly game, or maybe even convince crotchety old-timers to get with the program (pun intended :wink)

it is posibble to make the kind of dialog wich have a "More information" button...

All you should have to do is add the three strings and set the appropriate flags, and it should work itself out.  They are:

pszCollapsedControlText - The button label when collapsed
pszExpandedControlText - The button label when expanded
pszExpandedInformation - The actual information you want to display

TDF_EXPAND_FOOTER_AREA - Toggles between information in the footer, or directly after the button
TDF_EXPANDED_BY_DEFAULT - Start with the information collapsed or not by default
