What will be an ideal response?

The Actions Pane Control is a customizable task pane that appears in the Office application window. Using VSTO, you can create a customized Actions Pane Control called the Document Actions task pane. You can include any Toolbox object in the Document Actions task pane. To do so, you use the ActionsPane object, which acts as a container for Visual Basic objects. Although the ActionsPane object always is available to the executed project, it does not appear until you populate it with Toolbox objects. Once the ActionsPane object is displayed, you can add or remove controls in response to the user's actions. You can add multiple objects to the ActionsPane object and then write code to respond to events that occur from objects in the ActionsPane. You can create an ActionsPane object in two ways: by coding the ActionsPane object manually, or by dragging a Toolbox control directly onto the ActionsPane object and then coding a one-line request to display the ActionsPane object.
