    //  happen if the task was canceled while waiting in a thread pool queue to be scheduled by Chilkat's
    //  background thread pool scheduler.

    //  If the task was "aborted", it indicates that it was canceled while running in a background thread.
    //  The ResultErrorText will likely indicate that the task was aborted.
