CustomTaskPane infopath 2007

[Richard]

want to add customtaskpane to infopath via VSTO, I was able to make an addin
project and that worked fine: here is the code:
CustomTaskPane ctp = this.CustomTaskPanes.Add(new UserControl1(), "My
Caption");

ctp.Visible = true;

I want to be able to have the same thing in an infopath template project via
VSTO , not an add-in.
I can not find CustomTaskPane ?

When you're in design mode for the form in Infopath, choose from the
menubar: Tools/Form Options/Advanced/Enable Custom Task Pane

If you must code it, try looking for the HTMLTaskPane object

HTMLTaskPane object does not exist in the Infopath 2007 OM ??
If you go to tools, form options, programming, and click on Upgrade OM ,
then your form is based on the new OM.
you will see that a lot has changed.
HTMLTaskpnae is not defined ,..

Sorry. I completely overlooked the "2007" bit in the title.
FWIW, I'm still struggling with 2003.

You've probably already seen this article on MSDN, but just in case
you haven't... I came across it just now while looking again for an
answer to my boolean node value problem.

I have looked at that article ,since I am not creating an activex control ,
and simply add a usercontrol to the addin project , it already does many
steps inluding the registration , so , I am not sure how this article comes
to use .. and could not see any reference to :
CustomTaskPane ctp = this.CustomTaskPanes.Add(new InfoAddin(), "My
UserControl1");

the above is simple and was described in other articles to create the custom
task pane, but have no idea how to interface to the ctp ..
