Using any method/property that takes a date/time as documented format (The format for this string is PnYnMnDTnHnMn etc) throws an exception.

At first i quessed i did it wrong, but i ran the provided Delphi Demo and tried to set a setting it gave the same exception.

see screenshot www.petrossa.com/error.jpg

Every tasksetting accepting these strings gets weird. I got it to accept PT1M for DeleteExpiredTaskAfter, but then it throws an EndBoundary exception. The task enddate has been set.

is there anyway of knowing if this post is under evaluation?

yes, we're trying to reproduce this now.

In C++ Demo project there is code under:

[petrossa]

EndDate in itself doesn't really cause any problems.
i use
FTask->Triggers->operator [](MultipleActionsIndex)->EndDate=TEndDate->AsDate();

where TEndDate is a TEdit decendant with a TDateTime as member, it returns a valid TDateTime at all times. And that works ok.

Just when i do:

FTask->TaskDefinition->Settings->Set_RestartInterval("PT10M");
or
FTask->TaskDefinition->Settings->Set_ExecutionTimeLimit("PT1H");
the exception as shown in the screenshot occurs.
I just mentioned enddate because at 1 time it accepted
FTask->TaskDefinition->Settings->Set_RestartInterval("PT1M");
but then threw a fit at enddate.
So the real prob is not enddate but all the functions which use the Formatstring just are not agreeable.

I never compiled the C++demo, i only compiled the DelphiDemo because it had Vista implemented. The screenshot is from the Delphi demo.

Addendum:

FTask->Triggers->operator [](CurAction)->GetStartVistaDateTime();
works perfect,
but
TDateTime Dt=FTask->Triggers->operator [](CurAction)->BeginDate;
throws:

class EConvertError Invalid argument to date decode, as do EndDate, StartTime.

Uhh, I thought you was referring any problem with our code.
You can try to pass fully encoded time string like: "P0DT0H1M".

[petrossa]

well, first thing i did before posting was trying:
PT1H
PT2H0M
P0M3D
P0Y0M1DT0H0M

which didnt work. So thats why i compiled YOUR delphidemo, tried to set the expiration limit with using your Properties Interface on an already preexisting task set by the native Windows TaskScheduler interface.

Didnt change a letter to the code. That gave me exactly the same error, as shown in the screenshot www.petrossa.com/error.jpg which shows your demo as you can see.
