Any way in a coding style to close other groups if someone opens one group?

 I have the following:

Group1

task

task

Group2

task

task 

Group3

task

task

 If someone opens Group1 I check to see if group 2 or 3 are open and I want them to forcibly close (minimize), I tried using group2.expand = false thinking that might do it, but it doesn't.

Hi,

You could iterate over your SmartExplorerTaskPane.Items’ collection, cast the item into a Group and inspect the Group’s Expanded state. If the Group is not the current one and is not expanded, you could then set the expanded property to True to open it.
