Hi,
I am trying to reference the TaskPaneInstance in excel on a Protected document and it seems to always be null.

Is there a way to access it? I tried TaskPaneInstances but with multiple workbooks open, I dont know which one refers to which TaskPaneinstance.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,

Rob

Hello Rob,

I've reproduced the issue. It is now filed under #11751 in our issue-tracking DB. When the issue is fixed, you'll find this number in whatsnew.txt.

I suggest that you use ADXExcelTaskPane.WindowObj to get an Excel.Window or Excel.ProtectedViewWindow in which the task pane instance is shown.
