Can anyone help?
I have an action pane (or should I say pain!) connected to a VSTO template. I need the user to complete the action pane to populate the relevant information into the newly created document, therefore I need to trap the action pane. I have looked online and have found the below page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7we49he1.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
This page indicates that there is no way to trap closing the action pane, so I was wondering if anyone had come across this issue and found a possible solution?
Thanks
Jack

Re: Closing an Action Pane (Office 2007/2010)
As far as I know, there is no really satisfactory solution. A suggestion from Microsoft is to use a timer to check the Visible property of app.CommandBars("Task Pane") periodically, where where app is the Office application, and to redisplay the actions pane if necessary - see ActionPane.
Best wishes,
