My favorite Vista API – TaskDialogIndirect

Recently I have been doing a bunch of work to have the debugger better support Windows Vista. Windows Vista has a bunch of new APIs/API extensions, and I have seen a bunch of talk around the IO/Security improvements. While these do look pretty cool, TaskDialogIndirect is my favorite. TaskDialogIndirect is MessageBox for the 21st century. Here is why I love it:

  1. I am not a UI guy, but I am always a fan of good looking/usable dialogs. TaskDialogIndirect gets me a great looking dialog with nearly no work.
  2. Applications try to match the visual feel of the operating system. Its so easy this time.

Thanks Shell team!
