Disable TaskDialog "hyperlink" functionality #4

Closed RussKie closed 4 years ago

RussKie commented 4 years ago

During an internal usability study for the TaskDialog API, all participant had troubles showing a hyperlink. Eventually few users were able to find how set it up. Then users were confused that they had to implement a handler.

This is weird that I can specify a link, but TaskDialog would not go there for me, I have to implement the handler. I'd prefer it to be implemented for me.

I propose we disable the hyperlink functionality for the time-being until the TaskDialog functionality is merged into Windows Forms codebase. Whilst the hyperlink functionality is certainly very appealing, it is not a core functionality of TaskDialog, and we won't be significantly degrading the UX by not making it available to our user in the first iteration. Making it less confusing for users would require additional efforts that are best directed to other issues.
