XAML TaskDialog

Hello,

I've been reading through the Vista UX guidlines and I've been looking into the new TaskDialog. I know this is available through native programming but is this dialog going to be available as a WPF class

I suppose it can be called via P/Invoke on comctl32.dll, but I would expect to be able to access via XAML, but I can't find a WPF (wrapper) class for it.

Anyone know if it's available/going to be available

Regards,

Tomas

    The managed APIs should start showing up sometime around Beta 2 release (I've been told by couple of people on this board - see some threads, as well as authors of various SDK blogs). I hope its not really done in the earlier style (.net, as you mentioned), but are really easy to use and can be called from XAML instead of always being called from C#/VB.NET code.

    Vista has a managed shell API

    Dear God! Tell me where! I've had to write C# wrapper classes for DWM, TaskDialog and all the new features. Oh, and I hate doing it. A managed shell API would rock.

    Unless of course, you didn't mean "managed" as in the .NET sense...

    AFAIK it will not be part of the WPF API. Instead it is part of the Vista managed shell APIs.
