Like it, thanks ,-) Just wondering if it’s possible to change the captions of the CommonButtons, for e.g. ‘Cancel’ should read ‘Abbrechen’ in Germany? I’ve tried to use ExtraText with the CommandButtons to display some explanations what the single buttons do, seems to be limited to one line – wishline: let us place text below the buttons that can be a little bit longer, such as in the original Windows task dailog…

Nice adittion to the toolkit! I would love to see a Windows 7 look and feel, maybe time to change the ‘System’ palette to the newest version of windows instead of the outdated Office 2003 look? Or a new Windows 7 palette? The default task dialog in Windows 7 looks much better than the Kryptonized version with default palette if I have to be honest, what do you think?

Luca: I never heard of the InputBox, I will investigate this.

Sven: There is no plan currently on adding the expand/collapse feature or add a custom control to the client area. But this depends on feedback and demand for the features.

VV: Again, not current possible.

Very nice! Does it have the ability to add custom buttons? For example, I might want to have “Continue”, “Skip”, “Skip All” and “Cancel” buttons, instead of the usual “Yes, “No”, “Cancel” ones.

This is great. Just what I thought about after I saw you MessageBox.

However I would have two feature requests:
1. The taskdialog has an option to display a “show/hide details” button wich expands/collapses the message area and displays some additional text.
This is very usefull for displaying simple error messages with some further details on demand.

2. What I miss from the original taskdialog is the ability to host some custom control inside the message area. So instead simple text you code show some grid or treeview to better display data.

What do you think about it?

Regards,
Sven

Hi Phil,
wonderful work!
But after KryptonTaskDialog and KryptonMessageBox, why don’t you
add KryptonInputBox to compelete this task?
Sometimes I use this dialog with VB.net to get free user input
to do something.

bye
