How to activate a slide-in pane using script (OMI Toolkit)?

Question

Hello Heroes, 
 I am trying to open a slide in pane containing Historian Client using a script in my ViewApp, not the Hamburger-button. 
 I have a bit that i set to "True" with a toggle button, then I have a "While True" script running when the bit is true. 
 I have tried running this; 
 ArchestrA.Client.ViewApp.ViewApplication.Application.ActivateSlideInPane(MyContent.HistoricalTrendControl1,ArchestrA.Client.ViewApp.SlideInPanePosition.Top); 
 I get no errors, and nothing in logs when i press the button. But the slide-in pane does not active/slide in. Any help available? 
 
 The documentation of the toolkit says to use an reference to a control object and position of slide in pane as parameters in the function call:

Yep sorry for the copy paste issue with the dll location

 Not sure the navapp is enough 
 What would be the trigger of the 'close' slide in pane, in your case ? I suppose it's an operator action like pushing on a button embedded in the slide in pane ?

Thank you! Using your example i was able to Identify the reason for all my issues!! 
 .Parent.... 
 
 ArchestrA.Client.ViewApp.ViewApplication.Application.ActivateSlideInPane(MyContent.NavTreeControl1 .Parent ,ArchestrA.Client.ViewApp.SlideInPanePosition.Left); 
 All seems so logical once you have a working solution 
 One would think that this is the purpose reason for AI, the code should know what I'm looking for and not get hung up on things like spelling and correct syntax.... 
 Jokes aside, thank you so much for engaging and sharing your experience, this will not only help me, but I can imagine several others with the same/similar issue. 
 This is a classical case of aveva-need-to-know know-how.. 
 You will not be able to get this from the documentation and as you pointed out, the Techsupport has already stated that its not possible 
 But that's us, making the impossible, possible.

Seems to be working just fine.

Yep as Richard said it works. 
 the DLL will be deployed on the targeted node. 
 @Richard Not sure why but the DLL can&rsquo;t be imported. If we have the case for our clients we will raise a case to our local distributor
