ScheduledJobs synchronization

[exilon]

When you close your application, Scheduler destroy method calls terminate and waits for execute method exit. Execute method is a loop checking for time and launching every task when its schedule is reached . This means no new tasks will be launched, but current running taks should be finish gracefully after completed..

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Well, yes, the scheduler will stop and no new tasks will be created, and the running ones will eventually finish.
What I meant is that if there is a task that takes 2 minutes, it has to be interrupted if the user decides to close the app. And also the other threads may have to know if the above task has finished, and wait for it, for example if there are shared resources that can be freed.

This of course can be done by events, or critical sections, etc.
It would be handy if those functions were built in your classes, similar to the usage of TTask.WaitForAll, and ITask.Cancel + ITask.Status/ITask.CheckCancelled.

Anyway, I was just sharing my suggestion for an easier usage.
