The Task List feature allows you to keep a list of tasks for each project. For each task you can enter its description, priority, assigned person, status and comments. The tasks are saved in the .vbp file of the project.
MZ-Tools offers the following ways to show the Task List:
- The Tools | MZ-Tools | Task List menu.
- The Task List context menu of a project in the Project Explorer of Visual Basic.
- The Task List button on the MZ-Tools toolbar.
- The shortcut customized in the Options window, Shortcuts tab.
The Task List window is the following:
In this window you can create, edit or remove tasks with the toolbar buttons, context menus or keyboard shortcuts. You can filter the list by status, priority or assigned person, sort the tasks by any field, export them to a text file (tab delimited) or copy them to the clipboard to paste them in Microsoft Excel, for example.
Remarks:
- This feature is not available in the VBA version of MZ-Tools.
- Since the tasks of each project are saved in .vbp file, if the file is read-only the task list can not be modified. So, if the project is under source code control (for example, with Microsoft Visual SourceSafe), you must check-out the project file to modify the task list.
