How to get the DoNotShowAgain state of the TaskDialog in Delphi 12?

[PeterPanettone 180]

I am trying to encapsulate the TaskDialog properties, its execution, and its result in a single unit:

unit MyTaskDialogDNSAExpandable;

interface

uses
  Vcl.Dialogs, Winapi.Windows, Vcl.Controls;

type
  TDialogResultWithDNSA = record
    ModalResult: Integer;
    DoNotShowAgain: Boolean;
  end;

function ShowTaskDialogWithDNSAAndInfoText(const ATitle, AContent, ADNSACaption, AInfoText: string): TDialogResultWithDNSA;

implementation

function ShowTaskDialogWithDNSAAndInfoText(const ATitle, AContent, ADNSACaption, AInfoText: string): TDialogResultWithDNSA;
var
  TaskDialog: TTaskDialog;
begin
  TaskDialog := TTaskDialog.Create(nil);
  try
    TaskDialog.Caption := ATitle;
    TaskDialog.Text := AContent;
    TaskDialog.CommonButtons := [tcbOk, tcbCancel];
    TaskDialog.VerificationText := ADNSACaption;
    TaskDialog.ExpandedText := AInfoText;
    TaskDialog.Flags := [tfUseCommandLinks, tfAllowDialogCancellation, tfExpandFooterArea];

    // Execute the task dialog
    if TaskDialog.Execute then
    begin
      Result.ModalResult := TaskDialog.ModalResult;
      Result.DoNotShowAgain := ??? // how can I get the DoNotShowAgain state of the TaskDialog
    end
    else
    begin
      Result.ModalResult := mrCancel;
      Result.DoNotShowAgain := False;
    end;
  finally
    TaskDialog.Free;
  end;
end;

end.

 

But how can I get the DoNotShowAgain state of the TaskDialog in Delphi 12?

Look for the tfVerificationFlagChecked flag in the TTaskDialog.Flags property after TTaskDialog.Execute() returns true:

if TaskDialog.Execute then
begin
  ...
  Result.DoNotShowAgain := tfVerificationFlagChecked in TaskDialog.Flags;
  ...
end

And, if you want the checkbox to be initially checked when you display the dialog, enable the tfVerificationFlagChecked flag before calling TTaskDialog.Execute():

TaskDialog.Flags := [tfUseCommandLinks, tfAllowDialogCancellation, tfExpandFooterArea];
if DoNotShowAgainIsChecked then
  TaskDialog.Flags := TaskDialog.Flags + [tfVerificationFlagChecked];
