IProgressDialog with a custom dialog box or information on how the animation is performed

Question

There are basically two questions here, the answer to any of them is in order.

1) Is there a way to add items to IProgressDialog? For example, if you draw more text (than several lines) or an image or adding a button? Is there a class that overrides this, which provides additional functionality? (Since I am not performing a file operation, the IFileOperation interface does not work for me. But is there something similar?).

or

2) How does the animation at the top of IProgressDialog work? Is there any way to perform this animation without using this interface? I know that on machines with pre-vista it was just an AVI file, but how is it done now? (Except for simple drawing 100 images using a timer).

Thank!

Answer 1

There is no system support to expand the standard progress dialog box. However, you can find the HWND dialog box and then add your own controls.

Perhaps this is better if you create your own animation controls .
