    TDCBF_YES_BUTTON | TDCBF_NO_BUTTON | TDCBF_CANCEL_BUTTON );

taskDialog.AddCommandControl(201, L"First command button control");
taskDialog.AddCommandControl(202, L"Second command button control");
taskDialog.AddCommandControl(203, L"Third command button control");

// Show the CTaskDialog and remember how the user closed it.
int selection = taskDialog.DoModal();

switch(selection)

    L"New first command button control");
taskDialog.AddCommandControl(302, 
    L"New second command button control should require elevation",
    TRUE, TRUE);
taskDialog.AddCommandControl(303, 
    L"New third command button control should be disabled");

// Change the default command button control
taskDialog.SetDefaultCommandControl(302);
