TaskDialogs (C++)

Description

This example shows how the new Vista task dialogs can be displayed, both using routines in the Dialogs namespace or by instantiating the TCustomTaskDialog class.

Code

__fastcall TForm1::TForm1(TComponent* Owner)
  : TForm(Owner)
{
  // display a task message dialog at a certain position
  TaskMessageDlgPos("Continue", "Are you sure you want to continue?", mtWarning, mbYesNoCancel, 0, 10, 10);

  // display another message dialog at the current position
  TaskMessageDlg("Error", "An error has occured", mtError, mbAbortRetryIgnore, 0);

  // create a custom task dialog
  TTaskDialog *taskDialog = new TTaskDialog(this);
  taskDialog->Title = "An error has occured in the query.";
  taskDialog->Caption = "Query result";

  // assign a MB_OK modal result to the task dialog
  taskDialog->ModalResult = MB_OK;

  // add some customized buttons to the task dialog
  TTaskDialogBaseButtonItem *button = taskDialog->Buttons->Add();
  button->Caption = "Continue";
  button->ModalResult = MB_OK;

  button = taskDialog->Buttons->Add();
  button->Caption = "Retry";
  button->ModalResult = MB_RETRYCANCEL;

  // display the dialog box
  taskDialog->Execute();
}
