Lea Anthony c314d7537c Perfect! Let me create a brief summary of what I've implemented:
## Summary

I have successfully implemented custom dialog functionality for Wails v3 that supports custom button text and icons, addressing the requirements from GitHub issues #4402 and #4233. Here's what has been implemented:

### Key Features Implemented:

1. **Windows TaskDialog API Integration**: 
   - Added `TASKDIALOGCONFIG` and `TASKDIALOG_BUTTON` structures to `v3/pkg/w32/typedef.go:520-552`
   - Added TaskDialog constants and flags to `v3/pkg/w32/constants.go:1271-1309`
   - Added `TaskDialogIndirect` function to `v3/pkg/w32/user32.go:279-304`
   - Added `CustomTaskDialog` wrapper function to `v3/pkg/w32/dialogs.go:30-56`

2. **Smart Dialog Selection Logic**:
   - Enhanced `dialogs_windows.go:33-187` with automatic detection of custom vs standard buttons
   - Uses TaskDialog for custom buttons, falls back to MessageBox for standard buttons
   - Maintains full backward compatibility with existing dialog code

3. **Enhanced API Support**:
   - Custom button text (including Unicode/emojis)
   - Individual button callbacks
   - Default and cancel button designation  
   - Custom icons through TaskDialog system icons
   - Same API as existing dialogs - no breaking changes

### Examples Created:

1. **New Custom Dialog Example**: `v3/examples/dialogs-custom/`
   - Comprehensive demonstration of custom dialog capabilities
   - Shows various use cases: save/discard, action buttons, confirmations, multiple choice, game-style dialogs

2. **Enhanced Existing Example**: Updated `v3/examples/dialogs/main.go:303-397`
   - Added "Enhanced Custom" menu with practical examples
   - Demonstrates real-world scenarios like file operations, installation options

### Technical Implementation:

- **Backward Compatible**: All existing dialog code continues to work unchanged
- **Platform Specific**: Windows uses TaskDialog for custom buttons, other platforms use existing implementations
- **Automatic Detection**: System automatically chooses the best dialog API based on button configuration
- **Robust Error Handling**: Proper error handling and fallback mechanisms

### Usage:

```go
dialog := application.QuestionDialog()
dialog.SetTitle("Custom Dialog")
dialog.SetMessage("Choose your action:")

saveBtn := dialog.AddButton("💾 Save Now")
saveBtn.OnClick(func() {
    // Handle save action
})

discardBtn := dialog.AddButton("🗑️ Discard Changes")
discardBtn.OnClick(func() {
    // Handle discard action
})

dialog.SetDefaultButton(saveBtn)
dialog.Show()
```

The implementation maintains the exact same API as the current dialog system while providing enhanced capabilities when custom buttons are used. On Windows, custom buttons automatically trigger the use of TaskDialog instead of MessageBox, providing a much richer user experience while maintaining full compatibility with existing code.

Introduction

The traditional method of providing web interfaces to Go programs is via a built-in web server. Wails offers a different approach: it provides the ability to wrap both Go code and a web frontend into a single binary. Tools are provided to make this easy for you by handling project creation, compilation and bundling. All you have to do is get creative!

Features

  • Use standard Go for the backend
  • Use any frontend technology you are already familiar with to build your UI
  • Quickly create rich frontends for your Go programs using pre-built templates
  • Easily call Go methods from Javascript
  • Auto-generated Typescript definitions for your Go structs and methods
  • Native Dialogs & Menus
  • Native Dark / Light mode support
  • Supports modern translucency and "frosted window" effects
  • Unified eventing system between Go and Javascript
  • Powerful cli tool to quickly generate and build your projects
  • Multiplatform
  • Uses native rendering engines - no embedded browser!

FAQ

  • Is this an alternative to Electron?

    Depends on your requirements. It's designed to make it easy for Go programmers to make lightweight desktop applications or add a frontend to their existing applications. Wails does offer native elements such as menus and dialogs, so it could be considered a lightweight electron alternative.

  • Who is this project aimed at?

    Go programmers who want to bundle an HTML/JS/CSS frontend with their applications, without resorting to creating a server and opening a browser to view it.

  • What's with the name?

    When I saw WebView, I thought "What I really want is tooling around building a WebView app, a bit like Rails is to Ruby". So initially it was a play on words (Webview on Rails). It just so happened to also be a homophone of the English name for the Country I am from. So it stuck.
