I'm trying to use the Windows API TaskDialog function. As mentioned here, this function is included in the Comctl32 library. However, this function definition is missing from the comctl32.f90 file. Can I create a definition in a new module or is it more complex for calling an API function?

You should be able to create your own interface for the function by considering its structure and consulting interfaces to other API functions featuring similar arguments in comctrl32.F90.
The API function interface is
HRESULT TaskDialog(
_In_ HWND hWndParent,
_In_ HINSTANCE hInstance,
_In_ PCWSTR pszWindowTitle,
_In_ PCWSTR pszMainInstruction,
_In_ PCWSTR pszContent,
_In_ TASKDIALOG_COMMON_BUTTON_FLAGS dwCommonButtons,
_In_ PCWSTR pszIcon,
_Out_ int *pnButton
);
Most of the arguments are pointers which should be represented as POINTER_LEN Integers in Fortran (defined in IFWINTY) except the TASKDIALOG_COMMON_BUTTON_FLAGS, which looks like a simple Integer.
