CustomTaskUI Object

The CustomTaskUI object is an interface that allows you to optionally specify a custom dialog box for a Data Transformation Services (DTS) custom task that can be used in DTS Designer. The CustomTaskUI interface is only used in conjunction with custom tasks. If the CustomTaskUI is not implemented, DTS Designer displays a default user interface for task properties in a simple grid format.

Methods

CreateCustomToolTip Method	Help Method
Delete Method	Initialize Method
Edit Method	New Method
GetUIInfo Method

Remarks

After inheriting from the CustomTaskUI interface, a custom task must implement the following:

• CreateCustomToolTip method
  
  
• Delete method
  
  
• Edit method
  
  
• GetUIInfo method
  
  
• Help method
  
  
• Initialize method
  
  
• New method

Some of these methods can be placeholders that do nothing.

To inherit from the CustomTaskUI interface in Microsoft® Visual Basic®, the program references the interface with the Implements statement:

Implements  DTS.CustomTaskUI

Then prototypes for the elements the custom task must implement can be selected from the Procedures/Events Box in the code window in the Visual Basic integrated development environment (IDE), after selecting CustomTaskUI from the Object Box.

All DTS tasks must implement the CustomTask interface.
