How to create TitleAreaDialog using WTL or Windows SDK (no MFC)?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4797213

Question

I am trying to create a TitleAreaDialog using WTL or Windows SDK (please no MFC). From the google I am able to find these two links:

  1. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dialog/dialogheader.aspx (MFC article)
  2. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dialog/taskdialogs.aspx (doubtful.. how to use it)

The desired output is like the eclipse JFace TitleAreaDialog (see the below image).

Title Area Dialog

Kindly suggest a way to do this using sing WTL or Windows SDK (with c++).

Thanks

Was it helpful?

Solution

Finally able to solve it using the Dialog Header link. Just went through the code twice or may be thrice :) and then ported it for WTL.

There is another very good example in pure c++/win sdk: xmessagebox. Its about replacing default windows messagebox with something good (although there is a mode which uses title area + icon).

If working for vista or greater and just want to grab very basic information via checkboxes, radio buttons etc then have a look at this: Vista_TaskDialog_Wrapper and VGTaskDialog
