LibMaker Plus has Message() replaced with the Vista Task Dialog. An example of Task Dialog for CIDC 2019. See the LibMakerPlus Repo ReadMe for information on the features in this LibMaker.
Below are some screen captures from the program. The Task Dialog offers many more features than Messgae(). The full Task Dialog presentation is available on the CIDC 2019 website.
The See More button collapses verbose text.
This Task Dlg shows a Footer with an Icon and Link to MSDN. The expanded details can optionally show below the footer.
Buttons may be "Command Links" that have larger font first line then smaller font with more.
A Task Dlg has a "Main Instruction" first line in a Larger Blue font.
The example includes my CBTaskDlgClass class that wraps the complexity of the TaskDialog. It is much more complex than a Message(). It would probably be best to wait for Unicode
