Updating TaskPane title at runtime

I allow my users to change the UI language at run-time. The issue I come across here is updating the title of a standard task pane. In the VS local window I can see the new title is correctly set but the the control refuses to show the title unless the pane is closed and re-opened in a different window.

Do you talk about a CTP?

This is impossible. At https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vba/office-shared-vba/articles/customtaskpane-title-property-office, they wrote: This property is set once at creation.

Is there a way to delete and re-create the pane?
I found https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/vba/office-shared-vba/articles/customtaskpane-delete-method-office but do not know how to cast to the interface.

Hello Oliver,

Although it should be possible to call that method, Add-in Express isn't prepared to this and this may cause other issues. Add-in Express doesn't provide a way to create a custom task pane on the fly. We will consider adding this feature in Add-in Express 9.1.

Hi Andrei,

Thanks for clarifying. Any idea when 9.1 might go live?
