This example links together the Output Window, the Command Window, and Solution Explorer. It then manipulates the width and height of these linked windows, and it finally undocks them all from the linked window frame.

For more information about how to run this example as an add-in, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.
