The following code example creates a custom task pane and configures different default sizes for when the pane displays in front of the active application window, and when it is docked. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the CustomTaskPane class.
Private myUserControl1 As MyUserControl
Private WithEvents myCustomTaskPane As Microsoft.Office.Tools.CustomTaskPane
Private Sub ThisAddIn_Startup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles Me.Startup
myUserControl1 = New MyUserControl()
myCustomTaskPane = Me.CustomTaskPanes.Add(myUserControl1, "New Task Pane")
With myCustomTaskPane
.DockPosition = Office.MsoCTPDockPosition.msoCTPDockPositionFloating
.Height = 500
.Width = 500
.DockPosition = Office.MsoCTPDockPosition.msoCTPDockPositionRight
.Width = 300
.Visible = True
End With
End Sub
private MyUserControl myUserControl1;
private Microsoft.Office.Tools.CustomTaskPane myCustomTaskPane;
private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
myUserControl1 = new MyUserControl();
myCustomTaskPane = this.CustomTaskPanes.Add(myUserControl1,
"New Task Pane");
myCustomTaskPane.DockPosition =
Office.MsoCTPDockPosition.msoCTPDockPositionFloating;
myCustomTaskPane.Height = 500;
myCustomTaskPane.Width = 500;
myCustomTaskPane.DockPosition =
Office.MsoCTPDockPosition.msoCTPDockPositionRight;
myCustomTaskPane.Width = 300;
myCustomTaskPane.Visible = true;
myCustomTaskPane.DockPositionChanged +=
new EventHandler(myCustomTaskPane_DockPositionChanged);
}
