## Example

In the following example, the Item property of the TaskPanes collection is used to return a reference to a specified TaskPane object:

    var objTaskPane;

    objTaskPane = XDocument.View.Window.TaskPanes.Item(4);

Because the Item property is the default property of the TaskPanes collection, it can also be used as follows:

    var objTaskPane;

    objTaskPane = XDocument.View.Window.TaskPanes(4);
