I have an add in module that utilizes a TaskPane and would like the user to be able to shut down the task pane completely and reopen when desired.

I am able to shut down the TaskPane with the Close method (wired into ADXCloseButtonClick), but once closed I'm not sure how to bring it back.

I have a ribbon button that will display the menu if available, but I'd rather that button create the task pane from scratch. Since all the TaskPane construction logic is in the AddInModules InitializeComponent() method, what is the recommended way to do this?

Hello,

Please check section Controlling Form visibility at https://www.add-in-express.com/docs/net-outlook-regions-panes-ui.php#controlling-form-visibility. Also, see the sample labelled "How to make an Excel task pane visible / invisible programmatically" at https://www.add-in-express.com/support/csharp-excel.php#task-panes.
