Outlook Outlook (calendar) Folder width

[funkhouser_b]

I've created an add-in for outlook which has custom task pane that sits to the right of the calendar folder. Outlook prevents me from resizing the task pane beyond a certain size in order to display the calendar items the way it wants to. I've taken a screen-shot here incase I'm not articulating this very well.

So I'm wondering if there is a setting where I can override this minimum width which outlook enforces for its calendar folder (or any folder for that matter)?
