Hello Nick,
From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you want to how to
restrict the size of a custom task pane when users stretch it. If I'm off
base, please feel free to let me know.
CustomTaskPane objects do not expose the properties like "MaximumSize".
CustomTaskPane.Control.MaximumSize also does not work because it just sets
the maximum size of internal custom control. When the panel is stretched,
the rest part of the panel will be left blank. A possible workaround that
performs well in my side is to capture the size-changed event of the custom
task pane and reset the size if it exceeds the maximum value. Please have a
try and let me know the result.
private Microsoft.Office.Tools.CustomTaskPane ctpCalendar = null;
private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
ctpCalendar = this.CustomTaskPanes.Add(new CalendarControl(), "Select a
date");
ctpCalendar.DockPosition =
Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoCTPDockPosition.msoCTPDockPositionBottom;
ctpCalendar.Visible = true;
ctpCalendar.Height = 200;
ctpCalendar.Control.SizeChanged += new
EventHandler(Control_SizeChanged);
}
void Control_SizeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (ctpCalendar.Height > 300)
ctpCalendar.Height = 300;
}
If you have any other concern or need anything else, please feel free to
let me know.
Sincerely,
Jialiang Ge (
