COMMENTED ISSUE: No XML headers (for Intellisense) on many properties of this library

To see which ones, run StyleCop (or compile under VS 2010 Beta 1).

These headers drive the tooltips that you see when editing using these classes/properties in VS 2008.
Comments: There are 268 wanrings, most are of this type.

It would be extremely helpful to demonstrate how to add menu items to the "Open/Save" dropdown button in the common file dialogs. The stock dialog has two items (Open/Save and Show Previous Versions). I have been able to add items to the menu, but cannot for the life of me, figure out how to implement the default behavior (e.g., clicking the Open or Save button). When I add menu items to the dropdown, the button's text is set to the text of the first menu item added, and clicking on the button no longer performs the default action.

NEW POST: Vista Bridge License

Hello,

This only means that you can't put your work (which includes parts of the software under Ms-Pl) under a license that is not compatible with Ms-Pl (such as GPL).

The Vista Bridge Sample Library contains source code for assemblies that provide managed code developers access to Windows Vista features that are not available in the .NET Framework. Some of the features included in the Vista Bridge Sample Library are - Vista style Task and File Dialogs, Common Open and Save dialogs, Application Recovery and Restart, Known Folders, Network Lists, Power Management, User Account Control, CommandLink control, Aero Wizard Control, System provided icons etc.

The Vista Bridge Sample Library also includes sample applications that demonstrate many of the features included in the library. A help file for the library, (vistabridgedocumentation.chm), is included.

The latest version (1.4) of this library includes various bug fixes and new features like Custom Controls for Common File Dialogs, BreadCrumb bar control and Aero Glass.

(If you are developing for Windows 7, please visit the the Windows API Code Pack page http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/WindowsAPICodePack to find the library containing Windows 7 features.)

To build the library in Visual Studio 2008, please extract the contents of the ‘VistaBridge1.4.zip’ file in a new folder, open the included ‘vistabridge.sln’ file and build it.

Note
Some users may experience a security related issue when opening the help file or the Visual Studio solution. A security warning similar to “Unknown Publisher” or “This file came from another computer and might be blocked” may pop up. If that happens, the user won't be able to view the help file content or load the solution projects because Windows will block it.

To remove that error, please unblock the zip file before extracting it (right click the zip file | select properties | click Unblock button).

NEW POST: Calling from a wizard

dcveeneman — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 13:12:14 GMT

I think there is a bug when calling a Common File Dialog from a secondary window, such as a wizard. When you click a button on a wizard to open a dialog, the main window pops in front of the wizard, and when the dialog returns, the main window is on top, not the wizard. I have posted a bug report, and a video that demonstrates the problem is at http://www.screencast.com/users/ForesightSystems/folders/Default/media/35db4733-96e7-4abe-8843-658a7446dc51

Has anyone else run into this problem? Is there a workaround? Thanks.

CREATED ISSUE: Main Window PopUp Bug

dcveeneman — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 12:15:32 GMT

When vistaBridge is used to open a Vista dialog from a secondary window (such as a wizard), the main application window pops in front of the window invoking the dialog. When the dialog returns control, the main window is on top, not the secondary window that invoked the dialog. Demo of the bug is attached.

NEW POST: Vista Bridge License

Stereolad — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 08:05:43 GMT

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a license question for Vista Bridge. I am currently working on a commercial WPF application, what would be the implications of using part of the Vista Bridge library to help with dialog boxes? Is this license compatible with a commercial software license? I ask because of this section of the license:

(D) If you distribute any portion of the software in source code form, you may do so only under this license by including a complete copy of this license with your distribution. If you distribute any portion of the software in compiled or object code form, you may only do so under a license that complies with this license.

If not then how is this library meant to be used? As a learning resource only? Many Thanks.

CREATED ISSUE: EntryPointNotFoundException

Er3s — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 08:14:23 GMT

Hello,

Whenever I click any of the new "Vista Dialog" buttons, I receive a EntryPointNotFoundException. I have no idea why, I'm running Vista Ultimate, it's a promotional copy received at the "Heroes Happen Now" event, if that makes a difference. I've attached a screen shot for anyone to examine, and if you need more repor please advise.

Regards,
