Debugging the taskbar for Office

Question

I am trying to debug an App for Office application that runs on the Microsoft Excel taskbar. I am launching this with Visual Studio 2012. The functionality I want is simple - since all Office applications create an Internet Explorer taskbar, is it possible to check the CSS acting on each HTML element in the same way that Firebug works?

It would be really useful to be able to click an HTML element and find out that CSS acts on that element automatically. Especially for large projects.

Does anyone know how this is possible?

thanks a lot

Simon, If I understand what you're asking, in Visual Studio 2012 you can use the Page Inspector tool. In Solution Explorer, right-click the .html page for your taskbar application and select Page Inspector , and then click Inspect . Then you can see the appropriate CSS for the object that you clicked on the page.
