First of all, nice looking control.

Multiselection: I can't find the rigth combination of flags and styles to make multiselection possible. I'm using Office2003 theme, and I set the SetSingleSelection to false, and SetSelectItemOnFocus to true, but no multiselection?

Selectable items: Why is only Link items selectable? I would find it wery useful if both Control and Text items could be selected too.

Is it impossible to make a Link item without an icon? When I try no Caption is displayed.

I'm handling drop actions myself over the task panel control. However the internal drop target pointer m_pDropTarget is taking over the job. I tried to sub-class the CXTPTaskPanel to unregister the internal handler, but I could not find a way since the inner class CPanelDropTarget was declared private. Is there another way to disable in inner drop handler?
