Task Object, Tasks Collection Object

Multiple objects Tasks Task Multiple objects

Represents a task or tasks. The Task object is a member of the Tasks collection.

Using the Task Object

Use Tasks(Index), where Index is the task index number or task name, to return a single Task object. The following example prints the names of every resource assigned to every task in the active project.

Dim Temp As Long, A As Assignment
Dim TaskName As String, Assigned As String, Results As String

For Temp = 1 To ActiveProject.Tasks.Count
    TaskName = "Task: " & ActiveProject.Tasks(Temp).Name & vbCrLf
    For Each A In ActiveProject.Tasks(Temp).Assignments
        Assigned = A.ResourceName & ListSeparator & " " & Assigned
    Next A
    Results = Results & TaskName & "Resources: " & _
        Left$(Assigned, Len(Assigned) - Len(ListSeparator & " ")) & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
    TaskName = ""
    Assigned = ""
Next Temp
    
MsgBox Results

Using the Tasks Collection

Use the Tasks property to return a Tasks collection. The following example displays the name of every task in the selection.

Dim T As Task, Names As String

For Each T In ActiveSelection.Tasks
    Names = Names & T.Name & vbCrLf
Next T

MsgBox Names

Use the Add method to add a Task object to the Tasks collection. The following example adds a new task to the end of the task list.

ActiveProject.Tasks.Add "Hang clocks"
