Question

See more:

I am aware that you can set taskbar overlay with

C++

BOOL SetTaskbarOverlayIcon(UINT nIDResource, LPCTSTR lpcszDescr)

But this works only if you inherit from

C++

CFrameWndEx

or

C++

CFrameWnd

Is there any workaround where you can use same functionality if you inherit from

C++

CDialogEx

or

C++

CDialog

The documentation[^] clearly shows that this function belongs to the CFrameWnd class, which CDialog does not inherit.
