CustomTaskPane Object
 Note
|
|---|
| You can create custom task panes in any language that supports COM and allows you to create dynamic-linked library (DLL) files. For example, Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, Microsoft Visual C++®, Microsoft Visual C++ .NET, and Microsoft Visual C#®. However, Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) does not support creating custom task panes. |
Example
The following example, written in C#, creates an instance of a CustomTaskPane object and implements its only method, CTPFactoryAvailable.CTPFactoryAvailable passes an ICTPFactory object to the add-in, which you can use during the add-in's lifetime to create a task pane by using the CreateCTP method. Note that the example assumes that the task pane is part of an COM add-in and thus implements Extensibility.IDTExtensibility2. The add-in also references a Microsoft ActiveX control, SampleActiveX.myControl, that was created in a separate project.
