Unless somebody else comes up with better information, I have essentially duplicated the Mac OS X about box. I would like to keep the UI native to each platform, but if there is no standard, then I'll do the next best thing. Wish there was something on Windows like the HIAboutBox function, so I could simply call that like I do on Mac OS X.

So, does anybody have, or know of, a Windows About Dialog Template?

As far as I know, there is no such standard. There is a pseudo- standard for early Win32 apps that can be seen in such programs as WordPad and Notepad, but nobody else follows it.

If you wanted to duplicate it, however, I find taking a screen shot of the window and then assigning it as Window.BackDrop in the IDE helps me put the controls in exactly the right places. Then remove the Backdrop when you're done--viola, instant copy.
