_Application.ShowStartupDialog Property 

Determines if the Task Pane will be displayed when starting Microsoft Word.

Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word (in microsoft.office.interop.word.dll)

Usage

Dim _Application1 As _Application

Dim returnValue As Boolean
returnValue = _Application1.ShowStartupDialog

Dim sampleValue As Boolean
_Application1.ShowStartupDialog = sampleValue

Syntax

Property ShowStartupDialog() As Boolean
bool ShowStartupDialog {get; set;}
property Boolean ShowStartupDialog{
    Boolean get();
    Void set(Boolean);
}
public boolean get_ShowStartupDialog();
public void set_ShowStartupDialog(boolean);
function get ShowStartupDialog() : Boolean;
function set ShowStartupDialog(Boolean);

Remarks

This property returns True if the Task Pane will be displayed when starting Word, and False if not.

The ShowStartupDialog is a global option, and the new setting will take effect only after you restart Word. Use the Microsoft.Office.Core.CommandBar.Visible property to show or hide the Task Pane without restarting Word.
