Introduction

NG-DialogPack package contains tree major components:

• TNGTaskDialog component allows to configure and show Windows Vista (Windows 7) like task dialogs. Task dialog can contain:
• Caption, Title and Content texts.
• MainIcon, which can be one of the standard icons, like Information, Warning, Error, ect.; or a custom icon.
• Standard buttons, such as Ok, Cancel, Yes, No, Retry, ect; or a custom buttons, with custom Caption, ModalResult and Enabled state, configurable by the user. There is the ability to show custom buttons as command links, supporting CommandLinkHint feature.
• Radio buttons with Caption and Enabled state configurable by the user.
• Progress bar with various configurable properties, such as Min, Max and Position.
• Expandable additional information text with expand/collapse button.
• Verification check-box with configurable initial check-box state and check-box caption.
• Footer area with FooterIcon, analogous to MainIcon, and FooterText.
• TNGInputDialog component allows to configure and show input dialog, which is a dialog that contains some input control, such as edit or memo, and provides a way for the user to input a value. Input dialog can contain:
• Caption, Title and Content texts, MainIcon, standard and custom buttons, expandable additional information, verification check-box and footer area - all these features are analogous to TNGTaskDialog.
• Input control, which can be configured by the user by assigning a value to InputType property. Input control can be one of the following: edit, memo, password edit, editable combo-ox, non-editable combo-box, date-time picker or a custom input control (or several controls) configured as a mini-HTML template, using TemplateHtml property.
• InputValue property can be used to specify initial input value, which is shown when the dialog executed. As well, InputItems property can be used to configure combo-box items.
• TNGMessageDialog component allows to configure and show simple message dialogs with a look, compatible with TNGTaskDialog. The main purpose of the component is to be used internally inside TNGDialogs.Message overloaded methods, so, it, probably, need not be used explicitly. The component provides a set of properties, which are analogous to Delphi standard MessageDlg function parameters. First two dialog components support advanced set of features, such as callback timer, OnButtonClick event with the ability of dialog content modification from the event handler, and navigation.

Component Overview

Tab "NG Dialogs"
	TNGTaskDialog TNGTaskDialog is a component that provides the modern Vista task dialog not only in Windows Vista and better, but also on earlier Windows installations. The list of features that enable a better user experience include HTML and Unicode support, customizable common buttons, radio buttons, "command link" buttons, expandable text area, progress bar, verification checkbox, user function callbacks, timer support on timer etc. All of these features can be easily set via an extensive component editor at designtime or via code at runtime (either via standard or fluent interface).
	TNGInputDialog TNGInputDialog is a dialog component, which provides a way for the user to enter input value. Usually this value is a string value, so edit or memo controls are used to represent/edit the value. However, input dialog supports more input controls: Edit, Memo, Date-time picker, Editable Combo-box, Non-editable Combo-Box, Password edit, Custom Mini-HTML template. Many of the TaskDialog features like verification checkboxes or custom buttons are available as well.

The main purpose of the component is to be used internally inside TNGDialogs.Message overloaded methods, so, it, probably, need not be used explicitly. The component provides a set of properties, which are analogous to Delphi standard MessageDlg function parameters.
	TNGTaskPanel Simple TPanel descendant which emulates the look of bottom panels in Taskdialogs on Windows Vista and better.
	TNGButtonPanel Simple TaskPanel descendant which automatically arranges button controls to help creating dialog bottom panels more quickly.
