Return Value

The task add-in calls this method while the task is running on the server (EdmCmdType.EdmCmd_TaskRun) to retrieve a variable value set by the add-in when it calls: 

• IEdmTaskInstance::SetVar during the processing of the EdmCmdType.EdmCmd_TaskLaunch hook when the user enters values on the data card displayed when the task is launched on the client computer.
• IEdmTaskProperties.SetVar during the processing of the EdmCmdType.EdmCmd_TaskSetup hook when the user enters data card variable values on the task setup page.

Card variables accessible by this method must be created using the administration tool card editor and are not related to the user-defined variables accessed by IEdmTaskInstance::GetValEx and IEdmTaskInstance::SetValEx.

Return codes:

• S_OK: The method successfully executed.
