IRegistrationInfo::get_Source method (taskschd.h)

Gets or sets where the task originated from. For example, a task may originate from a component, service, application, or user.

This property is read/write.

Syntax

HRESULT get_Source(
  BSTR *pSource
);

Parameters

pSource

Return value

None

Remarks

The Task Scheduler UI uses the source to sort tasks. For example, tasks could be sorted by component, service, application, or user.

When reading or writing XML for a task, the task source information is specified using the Source element of the Task Scheduler schema.

When setting this property value, the value can be text that is retrieved from a resource .dll file. A specialized string is used to reference the text from the resource file. The format of the string is $(@ [Dll], [ResourceID]) where [Dll] is the path to the .dll file that contains the resource and [ResourceID] is the identifier for the resource text. For example, the setting this property value to $(@ %SystemRoot%\System32\ResourceName.dll, -101) will set the property to the value of the resource text with an identifier equal to -101 in the %SystemRoot%\System32\ResourceName.dll file.
