Hello Ma Ka,

You can use the following properties and collections:

Excel:
AddinExpress.XL.ADXExcelTaskPane etp1 = adxExcelTaskPanesCollectionItem1.TaskPaneInstance;

Word:
AddinExpress.WD.ADXWordTaskPane wtp1 = adxWordTaskPanesCollectionItem1.CurrentTaskPaneInstance;
AddinExpress.WD.ADXWordTaskPane wtp2 = adxWordTaskPanesCollectionItem1.TaskPaneInstances[i];

PowerPoint:
AddinExpress.PP.ADXPowerPointTaskPane pptp1 = adxPowerPointTaskPanesCollectionItem1.TaskPaneInstances[i];
AddinExpress.PP.ADXPowerPointTaskPane pptp2 = adxPowerPointTaskPanesCollectionItem1.TaskPaneInstance;

The following TaskPane properties let you get TaskPanesManagers:

this.ExcelTaskPanesManager;
this.WordTaskPanesManager;
this.PowerPointTaskPanesManager;

Also you can use an AddinModule instance from TaskPane in the following way:
MyAddin1.AddinModule.CurrentInstance as MyAddin1.AddinModule

If you have other questions, don't hesitate to let me know.

The same methods and properties are available in VB.NET.

What particular problem do you have?

The Code:
"AddinExpress.XL.ADXExcelTaskPane etp1 = adxExcelTaskPanesCollectionItem1.TaskPaneInstance;"

Brings:

"ADXExcelTaskPane"is a type in "XL"and can not be used as an expression.
The name "ETP1" was not declared.
Method arguments must be enclosed in parentheses.
Name adxExcelTaskPanesCollectionItem1 "was not declared.


Thanks Ma Ka

Please see the VB code: 
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim secondTaskPane As ADXExcelTaskPane2 = TryCast(CType(MyAddin5.AddinModule.CurrentInstance, MyAddin5.AddinModule).AdxExcelTaskPanesCollectionItem2.TaskPaneInstance, ADXExcelTaskPane2)
        secondTaskPane.TextBox1.Text = "Test"
    End Sub
