TAdvTaskDialog

Note: All components from the TMS VLC UI Pack can now be found here.

If you want to bring the task dialog look specific to Windows Vista to newer or older operating system editions, you can integrate TAdvTaskDialog into your software applications. It's a simple tool capable of emulating the typical look of dialogs from Vista in order to apply it to Windows XP, for example.

When it comes to the interface between the user and the task dialog, user information can be obtained via edit, memo and custom control channels, along with combo box, date picker (calendar) and replacement features for standard VCL ShowMessage(), AdvInputQueryDlg(), InputQuery(), Call AdvShowMessage(), MessageDlg() and AdvMessageDlg(), as long as they are compatible with the parameters.

In addition to files for Delphi 7 and RAD Studio 10.1 Berlin, 10 Seattle, XE8-XE, 2010, 2009 and 2007, the downloaded package also has several demos that you can explore, such as alert windows, popup touch keyboard, shaper, signature capture, smart message box, splitter, task dialog, touch keyboard, Aero controls, and EXE information. An overview can be seen in an HTML file, including pictures.

TAdvTaskDialog is part of TMS System Controls Pack so, if you're interested in buying it, you have to get the entire bundle (which contains other utilities with similar functions). Commercial license can be obtained for a single developer or a website with any number of developers working together within the same organization.
