Task Dialog Samples in fasmg

Good day, 👋

my name is Rickey Bowers, but on the internet I primarily go by bitRAKE. Typically, I am immersed in research and independent software development. Some of my x86 programming is archived at asmcommunity.net. More recent at flatassembler.net. And many more bits have been lost to entropy.

I'm a student of the universe:

fasmg-taskdialog's Issues

Abstraction used for task dialog config isn't flexible enough.

The TDM_NAVIGATE_PAGE message is intended for stepping the user through multi-page processes. Which means there is a desire to have multiple extended config structures on the stack.

Trying to keep the syntax too brief (to ease copy-paste coding) has me using incorrect abstraction and then defining that abstraction in multiple places. As my understanding changes so too does my thinking on how I want to implement it.

Marquee only works in Normal state.

fasmg-TaskDialog/samples/ProgressEffects.inc

Line 5 in 2170b2a

Progress_Effects_Sample:

Progress bar is empty in both Paused and Error state, if Marquee mode is True.

Main dialog has incorrect frame

Main dialog doesn't have minimization button despite TDF_CAN_BE_MINIMIZED flag being present.

Enable/Disable sample unable to exit ...

There is a corner case where toggling enable and disable buttons a few times will lock the dialog - where ESC key no longer works to exit. The title bar menu and red X corner button still work to exit with the mouse.

Just experienced this on Win11 - will need to research further perhaps. Feels like a windows bug. It isn't difficult to do - timing isn't important.

Missing custom icon

fasmg-TaskDialog/samples/Icons.inc

Line 6 in 656e1d3

RBTN_CUSTOM := 0x1FF ; TODO: add icon resource

doesn't have a resource corresponding to RBTN_CUSTOM.
