What is the Actions Pane?

SDs - to VSTO or not to VSTO?

Mary McRae — Sun, 14 Mar 2004 05:43:00 GMT

That was the question ... I was recently asked by a colleague. Are there any advantages to creating our smart document solutions using Visual Studio Tools for Office 1.0 rather than just .NET 2003? While the answer is a resounding...

Paul,

I have read a couple of your blogs, they have been very useful, thanks.

Is it possible to change the name displayed for the Document Actions Task Pane?

E.g. rename it 'My Task Pane'?

Oh, Im not using VSTO.

Any help appreciated,

Rob

To my knowledge, you cannot change the name displayed.

how can i cause the pane to become visible from within my code? also, if the research pane is shown, do i have access to the "results" area such that i can populate it with my own well-formed xml?

When you add a control to the actions pane, the actions pane appears by default.

The research pane is a separate issue. We don't provide any way in Visual Studio Tools for Office for you to create a customized version of the research pane.

I don't want to create a customized version but rather invoke a web service that is research pane compatible from my own code and simply render the results in the already defined area in the research pane. To accomplish this, I need to 1. force the research pane to become visisble if it isn't already and 2. gain access to the portion of the research pane that shows the response. Is this possible?
Also is there any sample C# code showing an Excel workbook and a custom actions pane? Preferably adding controls dynamically at run-time.
( I'm a MSDN subscriber and ISV partner if that helps)
TIA

Assuming your user or a remote administrator has deployed the research service to the end-user's computer, this sounds possible. See the Research Service SDK documentation at the MSDN Web site (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/rssdk/html/rsconAboutRSSDK.asp?frame=true) for more information.
