Task Pane

app example

task pane app

Part of the document

A task pane app is embedded within

the content of the document. It is part

of the document.

Familiar User Experience

Leveraging the task pane

infrastructure, these apps leverage

users familiarity with a popular Office

UI paradigm.

reference information associated with a

document.

Layout Guidance

The default width of 350 pixels cannot be

changed programmatically. Users can resize

and move so design to adjust to different

widths.

Context Menus

Developers have full control of the context

menu inside an app. However, you can not

take over, or add to the Office Task Pane

menu.

Scrollbar Guidance

Vertical scrollbars are acceptable, use CSS to

modify so they match Office scrollbars.

Horizontal scrollbars should be avoided.

content app

Part of the document

A content app is embedded within the

content of the document. It is part of the

document.

Implemented as an Excel shape

Print, resize, move, copy/paste, etc.

The user is in complete control.

Travels with the document

The app travels with the document for

easy, yet secure, distribution. An image

is shown if the app is not available.

Content App

Layout Guidance

Content Agaves have a generous size limit of

2560x2048. Users can resize and move so

design accordingly. Remember – content may

print with the document.

Context Menus

Developers have full control of the context

menu inside an app. However, you can not

take over, or add to the Shape context

menu.

Scrollbar Guidance

Scrollbars should be avoided within a content

app. Size them appropriately within the

manifest.

Set an appropriate size

Specify an appropriate size for the app in the Manifest

This example is sized too small – resize to avoid scrollbars
