    @Elroy. Here is the link for that interface. fafalone forgot to reference it

    As for your questions:
    1. No Cancel button. Yes for Vista+. It's an optional flag in the StartProgressDialog function: PROGDLG_NOCANCEL

    2. Positioning dialog. Don't see anywhere that the interface offers the dialog's hWnd. But we can typically get this by creating a hook just before displaying it, wait for dialog to be created, then positioning it and removing the hook

    3. Changing the text. Yes. In the class that fafalone provided are comments regarding that.
    Note: There is no "show more" option that I see. The TaskDialog implementation (Vista+ message box overhaul) offers that functionality along with progress bar but IIRC can't opt for button-free dialog without a bit of work to find the default "Ok" button and hide it. Can you disable it instead? Maybe, don't recall at the moment.
