With ADX 8.3.4393 some new events were added to the AddinModule component.
- OnTaskPaneAfterCreate
- OnTaskPaneBeforeDestroy
- OnTaskPaneBeforeShow
- OnTaskPaneAfterShow
- OnTaskPaneBeforeCreate
But none of the event fires when a pane is created, destroyed etc. Also the release notes mention a new OnHostApplicationInitialized event, but I can not see this event in the AddinModule.
The ADXForm class now includes ADXContainerItemsChanged event and the ConainerControl property. Can you please give a brief description what they can be used for? |

Hello Oliver,

These events are on board since Office 2007. They are invoked if you use Custom Task Panes; see https://www.add-in-express.com/docs/net-office-custom-task-panes.php.

This is a protected method, not event. To use it, you need to override it in the code of your add-in module.
The ConainerControl property allows accessing the control on which the form is hosted. We added the ADXContainerItemsChanged event to handle scenarios in which the list of forms the container hosts is changed. You can find more details about customizing Add-in Express forms in https://www.add-in-express.com/creating-addins-blog/2016/05/31/customize-appearance-excel-task-panes-outlook-regions/.

hi Andrei,
Thank you for the clarification on OnHostApplicationInitialized and ContainerControl.
I am using ADX Excel Task Pane in my project and I downloaded https://www.add-in-express.com/docs/net-office-custom-task-panes.php. for comparison. None of the projects receives the events e.g. AddinModule_OnTaskPaneBeforeShow does not fire but ExcelTaskPane_ADXBeforeTaskPaneShow does. |

Hi Andrei,
Thank you very much for the example project. Now I can see why the events did not fire. It is a different type of TaskPane and the user control is manually linked to the AddinModule.Taskpanes collection, no TaskPaneManager neither ADXExcelTaskPane.cs is involved, right?
Can both TaskPane types be used in the same project in a 'mixed' mode? |
