Project Task Object

The Project Task object represents a shareable project task linked to a new or existing Business Project.

Version Information
 Version Added:  Outlook 2007

Requirements

Business Contact Manager for Outlook

Remarks

Project tasks are shared by all users of the same Business Contact Manager database. Users can view, edit, and assign project tasks to any user of the database—the project task owner will receive reminders. A project task is based on the Outlook task.

By using the Outlook object model, you can programmatically:

  • Create a new project task.
  • Select an existing project task.
  • Edit project task properties.
  • Delete a project task.

You must link a Project Task object with exactly one new or existing Business Project object; a project task cannot exist without a linked Business Project. The Project Tasks folder contains project task records.

Example

The following C# and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) examples show how to create a new object instance of type Project Task.

C# 
  
Outlook.TaskItem newProjectTask = (Outlook.TaskItem)bcmProjectTasksFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Task.BCM.ProjectTask");
Visual Basic for Applications 
  
Set newProjectTask = bcmProjectTasksFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Task.BCM.ProjectTask")
