Workflow createTask: How to customize regular InfoPath task template?

Question

Can I customize the InfoPath task form which is used by the regular createTask activity?

I know I can create my own form and reference that in the elements.xml file, but I like using myForm.TaskProperties.Title = "Please upd..."; or is that also possible with a custom form (having TaskProperties)?

Basically I don't like the standard task form which gets created when using the createTask activity, so I e.g. want to delete the field "Predecessor" and delete some other fields. All I want is a task with some comment field and a "finish task" button.

Found the solution: Create your own task form and call it via CreateTaskWithContentType.
