Task List in HMIs

The Task List is an ActiveX control that displays the Workflow Task List in a host application. The ActiveX Task List provides users with a list of tasks for a workflow.

For users to be able to see the ActiveX Task List in a host application, security permissions must be assigned to that user. These permissions are configured in Workflow. For more information, see Understanding Security and Key Sets.

Note: At a single workstation, only one Task Indicator object and one ActiveX Task List object can be connected at a time per HMI application instance.

Important: For iFIX users:

To enable tabbing within the ActiveX Task List, you must set the IsSelectable property to True on the ActiveX Task List, and when it first loads, you must manually select it with your mouse so that it is selected.
