Hi,

We use Add-in Express for Office and .NET, Professional to develop a COM Add-In. We also use custom task panes.

Now we have the problem, that the F6 cycle of Word never activates our custom task pane.

I found a 2 years old post in the forum about this case: http://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=5&TID=8025

Is there any progress since then?

Because our software must be usable by blind people it's very important that they can control the software completely by keyboard. And the F6 cycle is the default method to cycle trough the task panes in Word.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Samuel,

I'm afraid the recommendation would be to use a custom shortcut in order to switch to your pane.

Hi Andrei,

Is there a way to use the original custom task panes form the Office system in an Add-in Express project?

In a VSTO project with the original custom task panes, there are no problems with the F6 cycle.

Hi Samuel,

Yes, it is possible; please check the section Custom Task Panes in Office 2007-2013 in the manual. Pay attention that Custom Task Panes are NOT available for Office 2000-2003.

Hi Andrei,

I tried to add a custom task pane. But I always get this exception:

Hello Samuel,

In what moment do you get this message? Is it reproducible with a new add-in project? If you get this at debug-time, please describe how you organize debugging process.

Are you running VS via "Run as administrator"?

What Word version, service pack and bitness are you running? Hope you don't have two Word versions on the machine.

Hi Andrei,

I get the message immediately after Word has started up (2 times). Yes I can reproduce it with a new add-in project. Yes, I get this at debug-time. What you mean with organize debugging process. I press F5 in VS2008 and Word will start up. I use default settings of a new Add-In Express project.

Yes, I run VS as Administrator.

I use Word 2010 Plus 64bit with SP1. No, that is the only Word installed on this machine.

Hi Samuel,

Does the same occur if you start Word from the Start Menu?

Hi Andrei,

I just realized that the message came form the old project. So in the new test project there is no exception.

In the old project the message also occurs if I start Word from the Start Menu.

Hi Samuel,

Mmm, I don't understand. Is the issue resolved or not?
