Vista-specific UI

Although Vista’s UAC and lackluster file performance still bug me, I must admit I am starting to enjoy its graphical and user interface enhancements. I’ve been looking at how to add these to our products, and I came across one site that’s saved hours upon hours of research time:

Windows Vista for Developers by Kenny Kerr

That’s the first in a series of articles he’s written that cover the essentials including the new file dialogs, Vista “Aero” style wizards, and task dialogs. Each article has downloadable code samples, and although their mostly written using the Windows Template Library (WTL) it’s easy enough to translate his wrapper classes into MFC. Well worth a read!
