Can change a task's Font Color

[Jett Anderson]

My client wants to be able to mark some tasks
as 'deleted', (I'll use some unused property on the Task
object, rather than actually deleting them from the Tasks
collection) and then change the font color of these tasks
when the file is loaded into Project 2000.

Is there any way for me to programmatically change the
color of the font of specific tasks?

Yes, Set the "highlight" property of the task to true.
Then set the text style of highlighted tasks to the color you want.

For example this sets the highlighted tasks to be magenta

TextStyles Item:=7, Color:=6

Best to use the macro recorder to get the correct item and color.

Hi Jack and all,

Sorry but AFAIK Highlight or Highlighted are not task properties.
The highlighted condition exists when a filter is applied in a view that has
the "highlight filter" property

Ah...
My bad memory, you are correct.
Use "Marked" instead.

Example:
TextStyles Item:=6, Color:=9
