Access a non visible pane

When composing a mail, I have a pane with visible = false in the inspector. That pane should become visible when a user click on a Ribbon/Toolbar button. I have tried getting the pane using ADXOlFormsCollectionItem.getcurrentform() with both active and visible set to true. It always return null unless my pane is already visible. I also tried getting it by iterating on ADXOlFormsCollectionItem.FormInstances matching InspectorObj with the ActiveInspector, same result.

I'm thinking of getting a global reference to the last Pane that sent me an ADXBeforeFormShow. But someone already told me not to do so

Which way should I use to get access to my pane and set its visibility when a ribbon/toolbar button is clicked ?
