Events for ActiveX Task List

Task events can be configured after installing the ActiveX Task List to provide more information regarding the status of the ActiveX Task List. Task event information can be displayed to users if a feedback message event is part of the event's configuration.

All the task level events expose the task ID and display name with the event. The ActiveX Task List registers to the Workflow TaskInstanceChangedEvent for task level events.

Note: For the Mobile-sized Task List, the only two events available are NewTask and TaskExpired.

Property	Parameters	Description
NewTask	string taskId, string taskName	Starts a new task. Return type: void.
TaskExpired	string taskId, string taskName	Event fires when a task that is already in your ActiveX Task List expires. It also fires when a new task is added to your list that is already expired, or has task steps assigned to you that are already expired. Return type: void.
NewFeedbackMessage	string messageType, string messageString	Displays feedback messages to users. The event is triggered when there is a new message. Return type: void.
