Hi, I'm Paul, but you can also call me Todd and I won't get upset.

Activating the task list

Paul.Todd | 24 March, 2008 18:26

I thought it would be a simple operation to get the task list to display from within my program.

After hunting around for the UID or an app or event that shows the tasklist I was'nt anywhere close to being successful.

I was just about to log a support request when I had yet another search around and eventually found out that it is only a single line of code. It turns out the task list is actually part of the Eikon environment so its a simple matter to just call it thus:

 

CEikonEnv::Static()->DisplayTaskList();

 

Of course it is always possible to hide your application from the list using CAknAppUi::HideApplicationFromFSW

I finally think Symbian and S60 have too many API's Undecided

You must have some very exotic use case that brings you to this little API ;)

It's not about too many APIs, it's about non-existing documentation. In FP1 SDK this call is documented exactly as follows:

DisplayTaskList()

IMPORT_C void DisplayTaskList();
