CustomTaskPane.DockPositionChanged Event
Occurs when the user changes the dock position of the custom task pane, or when code changes the value of the DockPosition property.
Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Tools
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Common (in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Common.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Event DockPositionChanged As EventHandler
event EventHandler DockPositionChanged
Examples
The following code example demonstrates an event handler for the DockPositionChanged event. This event handler changes the horizontal or vertical arrangement of controls on the task pane by modifying the FlowDirection property of a FlowLayoutPanel on the task pane. This code example assumes that the task pane contains a UserControl named MyUserControl, and the UserControl contains a FlowLayoutPanel named FlowPanel. This example is part of a larger example provided for CustomTaskPane.
Private Sub myCustomTaskPane_DockPositionChanged(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles myCustomTaskPane.DockPositionChanged
Dim taskPane As Microsoft.Office.Tools.CustomTaskPane = _
TryCast(sender, Microsoft.Office.Tools.CustomTaskPane)
If taskPane IsNot Nothing Then
' Adjust sizes of user control and flow panel to fit current task pane size.
Dim userControl As MyUserControl = TryCast(taskPane.Control, MyUserControl)
Dim paneSize As System.Drawing.Size = _
New System.Drawing.Size(taskPane.Width, taskPane.Height)
userControl.Size = paneSize
userControl.FlowPanel.Size = paneSize
' Adjust flow direction of controls on the task pane.
If taskPane.DockPosition = _
Office.MsoCTPDockPosition.msoCTPDockPositionTop Or _
taskPane.DockPosition = _
Office.MsoCTPDockPosition.msoCTPDockPositionBottom Then
userControl.FlowPanel.FlowDirection = _
System.Windows.Forms.FlowDirection.LeftToRight
Else
userControl.FlowPanel.FlowDirection = _
System.Windows.Forms.FlowDirection.TopDown
End If
End If
End Sub
private void myCustomTaskPane_DockPositionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Microsoft.Office.Tools.CustomTaskPane taskPane =
sender as Microsoft.Office.Tools.CustomTaskPane;
if (taskPane != null)

// Adjust sizes of user control and flow panel to fit current task pane size.
MyUserControl userControl = taskPane.Control as MyUserControl;
System.Drawing.Size paneSize = new System.Drawing.Size(taskPane.Width, taskPane.Height);
userControl.Size = paneSize;
userControl.FlowPanel.Size = paneSize;
// Adjust flow direction of controls on the task pane.
