Remarks

A Window object represents the ToolBox's window. The ToolBox contains a collection of ToolBoxTab objects, such as controls. Individual items in the ToolBox tabs are represented by ToolBoxItem objects.

A special tab named Clipboard contains the last 15 items cut or copied to the clipboard.

There is only one ToolBox object in the IDE.

Example

Copy

Sub ToolboxExample()
    ' Define the variables and create an object reference to the IDE's  
    ' ToolBox object.
    Dim win As Window = DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindToolbox)
    Dim tlBox As ToolBox = win.Object
    Dim tbxTabs As ToolBoxTabs

    ' Create an object reference to the ToolBoxTabs object.
    tbxTabs = tlBox.ToolBoxTabs

    ' Now you can manipulate the ToolBox.
    ' List the total number of tabs in the ToolBox.
    MsgBox("Number of ToolBox tabs: " & tbxTabs.Count)
End Sub
