Hi,

I am trying to add Task Dialogs (via CTaskDialog) to my application so that users running Vista or later can have the benefit of them. However, if I try to include <afxtaskdialog.h> I receive a compile error "CTaskDialog is not supported on Windows versions prior to Vista". I see that CTaskDialog has an IsSupported() method that I can use to handle XP, but I do not understand how I can make use of it if I am not allowed to compile. If I change _WIN32_WINNT to 0x0600, it compiles and works correctly but I need to leave it at 0x0501 so the app is able to run in XP.

Is there another way that I can take advantage of Task Dialogs when the app is running in Vista/7 and still allow it to run in XP?

Thanks!
