Examples and additional notes

Related issue: TASKSNET-4903 - Add ExecutingWebRequest event for interactions with API of ProjectOnline \ ProjectServer.

Now you can specify custom callback for WebRequest issued during interaction with Project Online \ Project Server via Project Web Access API: 

    System::MulticastDelegate<void(System::SharedPtr<Object>, System::SharedPtr<WebRequestEventArgs>)> handler([](System::SharedPtr<Object> o, System::SharedPtr<WebRequestEventArgs> e){
        e->get_WebRequest()->get_Headers()->Add(u"XMyCustomHeader", u"testvalue");
    });    
    auto credentials = System::MakeObject<ProjectServerCredentials>(u"http://myprojectserver/sites/pwa", u"user", u"pwd");
    auto manager = System::MakeObject<ProjectServerManager>(credentials);
    manager->ExecutingWebRequest.connect(handler);

Related issue: TASKSNET-4696 - Add support of ‘Display OLE as Icon’ property.

Now you can read OleObject’s DisplayAsIcon property to determine whether OLE object should be displayed as icon or as its regular picture. Also new entity was introduced: VisualObjectPlacement which represents visual object’s (including OleObject) placement and apperance in a project’s view. It corresponds to “Format Drawing” dialog window called by “Properties” command from OleObject’s (or another visual object in a view) context menu:

Format Drawing

    auto project = System::MakeObject<Project>(System::String(u"ProjectWithOleObjects.mpp"));
    auto view = project->get_Views()->LINQ_First([](System::SharedPtr<View> v) -> bool
    {
        return v->get_Name() == u"&Gantt Chart";
    });
    auto oleObject = project->get_OleObjects()->LINQ_First([](System::SharedPtr<OleObject> o) -> bool
    {
        return o->get_Id() == 1;
    });
    
    System::Console::WriteLine(u"First OLE object: {0}", oleObject->get_Name());
    System::Console::WriteLine(u"DisplayAsIcon: {0}", oleObject->get_DisplayAsIcon());
    
    auto oleObjectPlacement = view->get_VisualObjectsPlacements()->LINQ_First([](System::SharedPtr<Aspose::Tasks::Visualization::VisualObjectPlacement> v) -> bool
    {
        return v->get_OleObjectId() == 1;
    });
    
    System::Console::WriteLine(u"BorderLineColor: {0}", oleObjectPlacement->get_BorderLineColor());
    System::Console::WriteLine(u"BorderLineColor: {0}", oleObjectPlacement->get_BorderLineThickness());
    
    if (oleObjectPlacement->get_TaskId() > 0)
    {
        System::Console::WriteLine(u"Attached to task: {0}", oleObjectPlacement->get_TaskId());
    }
    else
    {
        System::Console::WriteLine(u"Attached to timescale date: {0}", oleObjectPlacement->get_TimescaleDate());
    }
