Task Renaming Revisited

[CarlDippel]

I'm trying to rename task a1 by saving it as A12 and deleting a1. The A12 task is created in the current directory. How can I create it in the Scheduled Tasks directory? -Carl

Code: Select all

var
  Task:TTaskItem;
begin
  TaskScheduler1.Open;
  Task:=TaskScheduler1.ActivateTask('a1');
  Task.Activate;
  Task.Save('A12');
  Task.Deactivate(False);
  Task.Free;
  TaskScheduler1.DeleteTask('a1');
  TaskScheduler1.Close;
end;

This is strange how you was able to save task under current folder. But in that case you can try the following code as alternative:

Code: Select all

  Task := Scheduler.ActivateTask('test_1'); 
  if Task = nil then exit; 
  Task.Activate; 
  sOldName  := Task.CurFile; 
  Task.Deactivate(False); 
  sNewName := ExtractFilePath(sOldName) + 'test_3.job'; 
  if Windows.CopyFile(PChar(sOldName), PChar(sNewName), False) then 
    Scheduler.DeleteTask('test_1');

I'm using WinXP Pro with an NTFS HD.

But in that case you can try the following code as alternative:

It worked like a charm. Thanks a million!

BTW I used MoveFile instead of CopyFile|DeleteTask. Do you for see any problems with that change? -Carl

No, there is no difference in methods.
