Hello, I love ADX, so useful!

Question, I have two advanced custom task panes on docked on the right side of my PowerPoint app...
I can easily swith between the two of them with the handy drop-down menu on the top.

I would also like to have a button in Taskpane 1 to take to Taskpane 2. Is this possible?

Im working with .net..

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jose,

Sure, it is possible, please see the code below: 


// show pane #2
private void buttonShowPane2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ADXPowerPointTaskPane2 pane2 = this.PowerPointTaskPanesManager.Items[1].TaskPaneInstance as ADXPowerPointTaskPane2;
    if (pane2 != null)
    {
        pane2.Show();
        pane2.Activate();
    }
}




// show pane #1
private void buttonShowPane1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ADXPowerPointTaskPane1 pane1 = this.PowerPointTaskPanesManager.Items[0].TaskPaneInstance as ADXPowerPointTaskPane1;
    if (pane1 != null)
    {
        pane1.Show();
        pane1.Activate();
    }
}


P.S. Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you! Although I did not use your code, it gave me the perfect hints. All worked out! 


   Dim po As ADXPowerPointTaskPanesCollectionItem

        po = PowerPointTaskPanesManager.Items.Item(0)

        po.TaskPaneInstance.Show()
        po.TaskPaneInstance.Activate()
