I have a Task Pane Manager Collection with multiple Excel Task Pane items. I would like each task pane to maintain its own distinct size, so that when I select it from the drop-down in the header, the task pane resizes according to its previous size. Right now, when I adjust the splitter for a task pane, all other task panes resize to the new size.

Is there a simple way to achieve this?

Thanks,
Matt

Hello Matt,

Set ADXExcelTaskPanesCollectionItem.Splitter = AddinExpress.XL.ADXExcelSplitter.None. This prevents the user from modifying the panes' size.

Thanks Andrei! I can see how this works.
However, I would still like users to be able to modify the size with the splitter.

Is there a way that I can use the Activated event of the task pane to enable splitters for all active task panes, and set splitters to None for taskpanes that are minimized or hidden. I think this would solve my issue.

Thanks again,
Matt

No, there's no such way. Changing the Splitter property will only apply when the form is shown for the next time.
