width: Type: System..::.Int32
The width of the tool. This parameter is ignored if the hasSize parameter is set to false.

height: Type: System..::.Int32
The height of the tool. This parameter is ignored if the hasSize parameter is set to false.

hasLocation: Type: System..::.Boolean
true if a location for the component is specified; false if the component is to be positioned in the center of the currently selected control.

hasSize: Type: System..::.Boolean
true if a size for the component is specified; false if the default height and width values for the component are to be used.

Return Value

Type: array<System.ComponentModel..::.IComponent>[]()[]
An array of components created from the tool.
