TaskPaneCollection Class (Microsoft.Office.InfoPath)

  • Article

Contains a collection of TaskPane objects that represent the task panes associated with a window in Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007.

Namespace: Microsoft.Office.InfoPath
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.InfoPath (in microsoft.office.infopath.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<DefaultMemberAttribute("Item")> _
Public MustInherit Class TaskPaneCollection
    Implements IEnumerable
'Usage
Dim instance As TaskPaneCollection

[DefaultMemberAttribute("Item")] 
public abstract class TaskPaneCollection : IEnumerable

Remarks

The TaskPaneCollection class provides properties that can be used to access TaskPane objects, and it is accessed through the TaskPanes property of the Window class.

Note

The TaskPaneCollection class can be used only to get the count of the TaskPane objects that it contains and to return a reference to a specified TaskPane object. It cannot be used to add or remove TaskPane objects.

Example

The following example sets a reference to the TaskPane object in the TaskPaneCollection with the index value of 3, which corresponds to the Clip Art task pane, and then displays the task pane.

TaskPane myTaskPane = this.TaskPanes[3];
myTaskPane.Visible = true;

Dim myTaskPane As TaskPane  = Me.TaskPanes(3)
myTaskPane.Visible = true

Alternatively, you can reference a TaskPane object in the TaskPaneCollection by using a TaskPaneType value, as shown in the following example.

TaskPane myTaskPane = this.TaskPanes[TaskPaneType.ClipArt];
myTaskPane.Visible = true;

Dim myTaskPane As TaskPane  = Me.TaskPanes(TaskPaneType.ClipArt)
myTaskPane.Visible = true
