So - here is the situation.
In a vsto document level solution, I am attempting to create a dialog inside the Actions Pane of the workbook which will protect the user from closing the action pane until the dialog has been completed.
I have looked through several forums, and have found that this is impossible, mainly because the "VisibleChanged" event of the action pane does not fire when a user closes the pane.
So, as a workaround, I would like to access the Control Name "ViewDocumentActionsPane" inside the "GroupZoom" group in the "TabView" tab of the default excel 2007 ribbon. The "ViewDocumentActionsPane" control is a toggle button which is created upon the first instantiation of the ActionPane. At least with access to this control, I will be able to find out when the action pane was closed, so that I may re-open and warn the user.
I have yet to figure out a way to access this control. Has anyone run into a similar problem (or hopefully a solution)?
Thank you,
