Hello Vinay,

The implementation of Add-in Express panes is the same in these cases but the windowing of these applications is different and this is why you see this effect in Excel. I should warn you that if any of these applications recreates (or shows/hides) their windows for some reason, you'll see the same effect in all of them.

To work about this, you should introduce a Boolean flag that you set in the ADXCloseButtonClick event. You check the flag in the ADXBeforeFormShow event: if the flag is set, you set {the pane class}.Visible = false.

Again, this code should be used in all applications. Consider an Office update that changes the windowing of PowerPoint or Word. Without the code above, you'll see this issue after such an update is installed.
