Object Schedule.Service

[syperjazz@…]

I did not test all Beta versions. On 3.3.13.5 it is working. And on 3.3.13.19 and 3.3.13.20 it does not work.

Example code:

Func _TaskExists($taskname, $folder = "\");check if a Task exists

;If Not _TaskIsValidPlatfrom() Then Return SetError(2, 2, 0)
Local $oService, $oFolder
$oService = ObjCreate("Schedule.Service")
$oService.Connect()
$oFolder = $oService.GetFolder($folder)
If IsObj($oFolder) Then

$oTask = $oFolder.GetTask($taskname) ;here is the error with newer beta versions
If IsObj($oTask) Then

$oService = 0
Return 1

Else

$oService = 0
SetError(1)
Return 0

EndIf

Else

$oService = 0
SetError(1)
Return 0

EndIf

EndFunc

_TaskExists("test")

You should enumerate Tasks something like this:

$oTasks = $oFolder.GetTasks($TASK_ENUM_HIDDEN)
If IsObj($oTasks) Then
	For $oTask In $oTasks
		If StringInStr($oTask.name,$taskname) Then Return True
	Next
EndIf
Return False

I also test on 3.3.12.0
Your examples give the same error in $oFolder.GetTask($taskname)

as:
​​https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa381353(v=vs.85).aspx
saying that you must set "The path (location) to the task in a folder."

For clarity I would like to say: Full Path to the an EXISTING task in a folder.

You are using only $taskname without folder, and you do not check if this task exists.
