CustomTaskPane Class (2007 System)

Represents a custom task pane in a Microsoft Office application.

Namespace:  Microsoft.Office.Tools
Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Common.v9.0 (in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Common.v9.0.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public NotInheritable Class CustomTaskPane _
    Implements IDisposable
'Usage
Dim instance As CustomTaskPane
public sealed class CustomTaskPane : IDisposable
public ref class CustomTaskPane sealed : IDisposable
public final class CustomTaskPane implements IDisposable

Remarks

Use the CustomTaskPane class in an application-level add-in to modify a custom task pane, or to respond when the location or visibility of the custom task pane changes.

To control the size or location of the custom task pane, you can use properties such as Height, Width, and Visible.

To respond when the custom task pane moves or changes visibility, you can handle the DockPositionChanged and VisibleChanged events.

Task panes are user interface panels that are typically docked to one side of an application window. For information about how to create custom task panes, see Custom Task Panes Overview.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to create a custom task pane by using the Add(UserControl, String) method. The example uses properties of the CustomTaskPane object to set the default appearance of the custom task pane, and it defines an event handler for the DockPositionChanged event. To compile this example, copy the code into the ThisAddIn class in an add-in project for an application that supports custom task panes. Replace the default ThisAddIn_Startup method in the ThisAddIn class with the ThisAddIn_Startup method in this example. This example also assumes that the project contains a UserControl named MyUserControl, and the UserControl contains a FlowLayoutPanel named FlowPanel.
