In a large map, I'd like to be able to quickly query for topics which have their task progress set to "None". In other words, I'm trying to flush out any stray tasks for which I've forgotten to set the task progress value.
I've looked at the Progress filter and Power Filter tools under the View tab, but it appears that those tools only can return results for which the task progress is set between 0 - 100%. There does not seem to be any explicit option for searching for tasks with Progress set to "None".

This can be done easy by just reversing the powerfilter result:
Select alle progress options that are in use and say Hide Matching Topics
Done
OK?

Nick - I tested the macro you provided with the sample map and with my map, too. It worked perfectly for both. Thanks!
I have a question about the macro -
It appears to be written in a language similar to Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). What is the actual language and is there an online reference for that language?
The reason I ask is that I'd like to make a slight modification to the macro. I noticed in the code that the central topic is excluded. I'd like to go one step further and exclude any topic that has its Topic Style set to "Area of Focus" or "Goal". Without a language reference to refer to, it could take a lot of trail and error for me to find the syntax for exposing the Topic Style property.
Cancel that last request - I found the language reference in the Help section of the built-in IDE. I should be able to figure it out from there.

Hello Ashok
I am glad it worked.
The macro language is VBA, very similar to that used in Microsoft Office products.
While there is some help for the language itself, at the moment there is no officially published documentation on the MindManager object model, only orphan documents from earlier versions. You can browse the MindManager Application object under Debug > Browse in the macro editor, and there are some one-line hints for each item.
It is not usually a good idea to filter out the central topic, as this can lead to a completely empty screen :)
The topic style is accessed as follows:

The topic style is accessed as follows:
If Not (m_Topic.Style Is Nothing) Then
If m_Topic.Style.HasTopicStyle Then
... do something with m_Topic.Style.TopicStyle.Name
Good luck!

Nick, can't seem to get this to work under MM2016, I get an error on this line. Any ideas?
For Each m_Topic In ActiveDocument.Range(mmRangeAllTopics, True)

What is the error? Have you declared m_Topic, e.g.
Dim m_Topic as Topic
Dim m_Topic as Topic
