MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / March 2005Task Pane
I would like to hide a custom task pane that I have created, so i have added the following code to the onload event Dim oTaskPane As HTMLTaskPaneObject = thisXDocument.View.Window.TaskPanes(0) oTaskPane.Visible = False and get the following error System.NullReferenceException Object reference not set to an instance of an object. any suggestions on how to hide the task pane, until i open it on a onchange event. The problem you have is that during the OnLoad event, the View object doesn't exist. You will need to do this during the OnSwitchView event. If you only want it to happen once, you will need to set a flag in your code to identify whether you've already done this (i.e. assuming there is more than one view to switch to).

Thanks, it works, but seems to me that it is a messy way of doing it. > The problem you have is that during the OnLoad event, the View object doesn't exist.

You are right -- but there's no other way. The part I don't like is that you see the task pane flash as it displays and then disappears. Oh well!
