Complete Workflow after approving all tasks

Question

Hello everybody,
I'm face to a big problem with approval workflow OOTB. In my case, when one user from approvers approve his task. The workflow must be completed and we we din't need to wait other approvment. So, I developed an event receiver on Tasks Workflow list and I
checked the first approvment. After, that I approve all other tasks by code. The problem, the status of workflow is still equal to "In progress" despite the ending of all tasks ! It is strange.
This my code in event receiver of the list :
public override void ItemUpdated(SPItemEventProperties properties)
base.ItemUpdated(properties);
SPList list = properties.List;
SPWeb web = properties.Web;
SPList createDocument = DMSUtility.GetListByUrl(web, DMSConstants.LIST_CreateDocument);
string workflowItemId = string.Empty;
string taskStatus = string.Empty;
string taskID = string.Empty;
string taskworkflowStatus = string.Empty;
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(web.Site.ID))
using (SPWeb webSecure = site.OpenWeb())
if (list.RootFolder.Url.Equals((DMSConstants.LIST_CreateDocumentWorkflowTasks)))
//Get Tasks item
SPListItem itemTask = properties.ListItem;
if (itemTask["WorkflowOutcome"] != null && itemTask["WorkflowItemId"] != null)
workflowItemId = itemTask["WorkflowItemId"].ToString();
taskStatus = itemTask["Status"].ToString();
taskworkflowStatus = itemTask["WorkflowOutcome"].ToString();
taskID = itemTask["ID"].ToString();
if (taskworkflowStatus.Equals("Approved"))
SPListItem item = createDocument.GetItemById(Convert.ToInt16(workflowItemId));
// fetch workflow tasks
SPWorkflowTaskCollection wfTasks = item.Tasks;
int i=0;
foreach (SPWorkflowTask task in wfTasks)
// build a hashtable with the values to be changed to mark the task as complete
if (task["ID"].ToString() != taskID && task["Status"].ToString()!="Completed")
using (DisabledItemEventsScope scope = new DisabledItemEventsScope())
task.Web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
task["Status"] = "Completed";
task["WorkflowOutcome"] = "Approved";
task[SPBuiltInFieldId.WorkflowVersion] = 1;
task.SystemUpdate();
Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();
ht[SPBuiltInFieldId.Completed] = "TRUE";
ht["Completed"] = "TRUE";
ht[SPBuiltInFieldId.PercentComplete] = 1.0f;
ht["PercentComplete"] = 1.0f;
ht["Status"] = "Completed";
ht[SPBuiltInFieldId.TaskStatus] = SPResource.GetString
(new CultureInfo((int)task.Web.Language, false),
Strings.WorkflowStatusCompleted, new object[0]);
ht[SPBuiltInFieldId.WorkflowOutcome] = "Approved";
ht["TaskStatus"] = "Approved";
ht["FormData"] = SPWorkflowStatus.Completed;
// alter the task using a trick to prevent task lock issue
//AlterTask((task as SPListItem), ht, true, 5, 100);
SPWorkflowTask.AlterTask((task as SPListItem), ht, true);
while (!(bool)item.Tasks[i]["Completed"])
Thread.Sleep(1000);
task.Web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
task.Web.Update();
i++;
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have verified creating the simple approval workflow process.  Use the following two actions instead of setting workflow status to approved and stop the workflow.
In this scenario, when one approver approves the task, others task is marked as cancel and his task will be marked as approved and list item will be marked as approved.
And finally, one more thing, the approval process approvers must be in parallel
Hope this will resolve your problem.
Please mark as answered, if your problem resolved.
