[SOLVED] Task Schreduling in Windows 7 (API ver. 2) ??

[marcov]

Yes, that is fine with me also.  There was a contributor (Matej ?? from Croatia) who contributed a lot to the early COM support working on something like that , but he stopped responding at some point.

I'm progressing nicely on the importer. When working,  I'll create another thread to post the code instead of highjacking this one, or shall I create a new issue in the bugtracker?

For me Mantis is easier. FPC project though :_)

I work with olevariant,and need to pass datetime from example TDateTimePicker or some other source into my method which pass that value to olevariant.
Does I need to specify format of datetime to some specific format for olevariant?

Just assign TDateTime to OleVariant.

I doesn't work.I found solution sorry for my fast question.
Datetime must be formated like YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS(+-)HH:MM
so i wrote Function to convert TDateTimePiscker or any datetime class to right format because
olevariant can handle string and pass to right format

Code: [Select]

function TForm1.SetTime(DateTimePicker: TDateTimePicker): string;
var
date: ShortString;
time: ShortString;
begin
 DateSeparator:='-';
 date:=FormatDateTime('yyyy/mm/dd', DateTimePicker.Date);
 time:=FormatDateTime('HH:MM:SS',DateTimePicker.Time);
 Result:=date+'T'+time+'+01:00';
end;
end.

I doesn't work.

I guess you are trying to set StartBoundary or EndBoundary. These are defined as a WideString with a particular format and no "automagic" OLEVariant conversion will work. There are properties such as IRegisteredTask.NextRunTime that use a TDateTime compatible format.

Result:=date+'T'+time+'+01:00';

Task Scheduling api uses UTC and +1:00 is CET winter time. You'll need to adapt your routine to local timezone and day savings time.

Yes Start and End DateTime.DateTimePicker is only testing for format input.
Well function from above done the job.I can pass ShortString to olevariant..
