Parameters
_Function
The type of the function object that will be invoked by this task._Func
The continuation function to execute when this task completes. This continuation function must take as input a variable of either result_type or task<result_type>, where result_type is the type of the result this task produces._TaskOptions
The task options include cancellation token, scheduler and continuation context. By default the former 3 options are inherited from the antecedent task_CancellationToken
The cancellation token to associate with the continuation task. A continuation task that is created without a cancellation token will inherit the token of its antecedent task._ContinuationContext
A variable that specifies where the continuation should execute. This variable is only useful when used in a Windows Store style app. For more information, see task_continuation_context
Return Value
The newly created continuation task. The result type of the returned task is determined by what _Func returns.
Remarks
The overloads of then that take a lambda or functor that returns a Windows::Foundation::IAsyncInfo interface, are only available to Windows Store apps.
For more information on how to use task continuations to compose asynchronous work, see Task Parallelism (Concurrency Runtime).
