It is difficult to offer feedback to users outside of a task pane.
Consider the following use case for an Excel application:
- There is a command button in the ribbon
- On clicking the button, it should put some value in the selected cell
- If the active range is larger than a single cell, it should inform the user and bail out
Currently, there's not a good way to provide this feedback to the user. Either you would need to:
- Load a html dialog
- Change the content of the taskpane to reflect the error
Both of these scenarios seem like overkill.
This functionality would ideally be available across all application types (Word/Excel/Outlook etc.).
