how to create windows7-styled message/dialog boxes with command links in c#?

Question

How to create these beautiful message/dialog boxes (example: http://i.msdn.microsoft.com/dynimg/IC123363.png) in C#?

Is there a function similar to MessageBox.Show in the .NET Framework?

Answer 1

It is a TaskDialog. It is wrapped in a managed class by the Windows API Code Pack. Lots of other Vista and Win7 specific goodies in there as well.

Answer 2

I always hesitate to provide a codeproject link, but I think you're trying to make a TaskDialog. There's also a project on code.msdn.microsoft.com that claims to provide the WinForms TaskDialog. A more reliable source of the TaskDialog is the Windows API Code Pack.

Be certain to provide an alternate message box if you need to support WindowsXP or older operating systems, Task Dialogs are new in Windows Vista.

Answer 3

Take a look at http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/WindowsAPICodePack I'm not sure it contains feature you need, but it has feature named 'Windows Vista and Windows 7 Task Dialogs', maybe it is thing you looking for.
