  • 1.  Automate Task pane via API in PAX

    Posted Tue September 28, 2021 10:25 AM
    Hi folks, 

    im trying to automate the taskpane by using the following code sample but unfortunately got the error code 438. How can I fix this error? CognosOfficeAutomationExample and CognosOfficeMessageSupresser are included in the VBA Project. 
    Sub hideTaskPane()
Reporting.taskPane.Refresh
End Sub​

    Thank you for your help

    Hi Nico,

    A 438 error indicates that a property or method you are trying to use does not exist. This is more than likely happening because the casing is incorrect in your call.

    https://ibm.github.io/paxapi/#refresh-task-pane

    Based on the above link, the call would need to be changed to the following.

    Sub hideTaskPane() Reporting.TaskPane.Refresh End Sub


    Thanks

    Hi Matt,

    thank you for your quick response. I think you're right that the method does not exist, but I'm not sure weather its only incorrect casing in the method name because I changed my Procedure as follows and I got the same Error 438 as before:
    Sub refresh()
#If False Then
   Dim TaskPane
#End If
Reporting.TaskPane.Refresh
End Sub​

    Thank you for your help

    Hi Matt,

    Maybe I found the problem. I worked with the PAX Version 2.0.59.5 and the TaskPane API came with Version 2.064. Do you know if there is a way to use the TaskPane API with an older version?

    Thank you for your help.
