The TaskManager manages a collection of tasks and monitors their lifetime. A TaskManager has a built-in NotificationCenter that is used to send out notifications on task progress and task states. See the TaskNotification class and its subclasses for the various events that result in a notification. To keep the number of notifications small, a TaskProgressNotification will only be sent out once in 100 milliseconds. { public: typedef AutoPtr<Task> TaskPtr; typedef std::list<TaskPtr> TaskList;

          TaskManager();
  
Creates the TaskManager, using the default ThreadPool.

          TaskManager(ThreadPool& pool);
  
Creates the TaskManager, using the given ThreadPool.

          ~TaskManager();
  
Destroys the TaskManager.

          void start(Task* pTask);
  
Starts the given task in a thread obtained from the thread pool. The TaskManager takes ownership of the Task object and deletes it when it it finished.

          void cancelAll();
  
Requests cancellation of all tasks. void joinAll(); Waits for the completion of all the threads in the TaskManager's thread pool.

          TaskList taskList() const;
  
Returns a copy of the internal task list.

          int count() const;
  
Returns the number of tasks in the internal task list.

          void addObserver(const AbstractObserver& observer);
  
Registers an observer with the NotificationCenter. Usage: Observer<MyClass, MyNotification> obs(*this, &MyClass::handleNotification); notificationCenter.addObserver(obs);

          void removeObserver(const AbstractObserver& observer);
  
Unregisters an observer with the NotificationCenter.

          static const int MIN_PROGRESS_NOTIFICATION_INTERVAL;
  
  protected:
          void postNotification(Notification* pNf);
  
Posts a notification to the task manager's notification center.

          void taskStarted(Task* pTask);
          void taskProgress(Task* pTask, float progress);
          void taskCancelled(Task* pTask);
