When I make a custom task pane visible from a command bar button or from a
ribbon button it is displayed but the user then has to click on the task pane
to give it focus and activate it. I have added a SendKeys.Send ("{F6}") which
will give the task pane focus but only if the Inbox - Microsoft Outlook pane
currently has focus i.e. this doesn't work if you click on the To-Do Bar
first. I've tried API calls but without any success. From my 26 years of
experience with end users I know that they will not find this acceptable and
it's not a great user experience. Does anyone have a working work-around or
could the VSTO team add a custom task pane activate() of focus() method ?
