How to check if PPL task is running?

[Purple_Apple]

Hey. I immediately turn to the topic: how to determine whether the PPL task is currently running or not. The is_done () function is inconvenient for this. Because if the task is not currently running, then using this function it is impossible to determine whether the task was completed or it has not yet been launched after its creation. I tried Google, but the search produces, in particular, MSDN articles in which COM objects are used to create a task and check the status of the task. Is there really no standard tool in PPL to check if a task is currently running or not? If so, then admit it is very strange. TPL tasks in C # have properties for this, why is there nothing similar for PPL tasks in Win32 API C ++? Answer, someone, please, how to check if PPL task is currently running or not?

Thanks in advance.
