Hi everybody,
I had create a new project with a taskpanel in Excel using VSTO in Vb.net.
I had a problem when set the width of taskpanel when show taskpanel position:

.DockPosition = Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoCTPDockPosition.msoCTPDockPositionLeft 
or 
.DockPosition = Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoCTPDockPosition.mmsoCTPDockPositionRight.

I want to set taskpanel width < 50 but seem i can't set my taskpanel width < default minimum taskpanel width (~50).
I think there must be some way to solve this?

Can you please let me know if we there is a way to change the width through code or configuration?

Thanks

Check this: CustomTaskPane.Width Property (Microsoft.Office.Tools)[^]

MSDN wrote:
The minimum width depends on several factors, and can change in future releases of Microsoft Office. If you try to set the Width property to a value that is less than the minimum width, the application will automatically reassign the Width property to the minimum width.
