Start a task at a specific location

[Darukur]

I have a task with multiple labels and I want to know if it´s possible to start the task in a certain label inside the task.

Thanks in advance

It´s possible to use it like this?

OSCreateTask(label to position,pointer,prio);

were "label to position" is the specific location on the task

In order to work the last note I had to destroy the task and recreate it with the desired starting point.
Is this a correct thing to do?

Hmmm ... IIRC the current release (3.2.4 and higher) of Salvo allows you to re-create a task via OSCreateTask() without first destroying it ... check OSCreateTask()'s return code. Destroying it first is much safer. If the task is already waiting an event, then this won't work.

But yes, since Salvo tasks are void taskName (void), you should be able to "initially enter" the task just about anywhere. I haven't tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I'd recommend testing it thoroughly, though.

Thanks for your quick response.

In order to destroy the task...
Do I have to wait for the task to change its state to another than WAITING or I can force it to another state?
Maybe with "OSStopTask"?

Send an email to support and we'll send you the code for a function that will unconditionally kill a task, no matter what's state it's in.
