Activity items are not progressed individually but are related to a parent object that is used to manage and track progress percentages for the group. This parent object is called an Activity deliverable.
Activity items are grouped into Activity deliverables using a relationship between the ISPFPrgActivity and ISPFActivityItem interfaces.
Details of the properties and functionality exposed by these interfaces are given in the sections that follow.
SPFPrgActivity class definition
The SPFPrgActivity class is delivered as a default example activity, the object that optionally gets registered. This class can be any item that realizes the ISPFPrgActivity, and ISPFPrgProgressItem interfaces and optionally realizes the ISPFPrgRegisteredItem interface.
The ISPFPrgActivity interface can therefore be realized by any class definitions (such as purchase order, supplier activity, and so forth) that represent activities whose progress must be monitored.
ISPFPrgActivity interface
This is set on the object. It is set at object creation time to enable the object to be registered for activity progress.
