SOLVED: Method 'Select' of object 'IPane' failed

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I am using the following code to force a pane to be visible once a CommandBarButton is clicked... This button may be hit throughout the use of the application, but it is always after the pane has fully loaded.

    UserPane.Hidden = False
    UserPane.Select

This Code Worked fine up until recently. When I got to thinking about what was changed, I realized that I recently added the SaveState/LoadState code for the DockingPaneManager. 

  DockingPaneManager.LoadState RegKey, "ObjectStates", "DockingPaneManager"

Now, The SaveState/LoadState work properly, but when the first block of code is called, I get the following error on the UserPane.Select line...

Method 'Select' of object 'IPane' failed

If I REM out that line and let the code run, nothing happens, and if I hit the CommandBarButton again, I get this error on the UserPane.Hidden line...

Method 'Hidden' of object 'IPane' failed

If I REM out the DockingPaneManager.LoadState Code, All operates as normal...

	Hi, Yes, after you load state your UserPane variable is not valid anymore. use FindPane method to find actual pane.

	Perfect. I re-assigned my UserPane variable after the LoadLayout and it works great. Thanks.
