How do I get a task pane location?

Hello Dave,

The CustomTaskPane object does not expose its location property. We have two
ways to work around,

1. Get the information via
Application.CommandBars[ctpname].Left
Application.CommandBars[ctpname].Top

2. Get the information via Windows API
FindWindowW
GetWindowRect

See a FAQ item in VSTO FAQs,

It is same in the COM addin.
