Remarks

COM Signature

From vsshell.idl:

C++

HRESULT IVsToolbox2::AddItemFromFile2(

   [in]IVsHierarchy *pHierSource,
   [in]REFGUID guidPkg,
   [out,retval]BOOL *pfItemAdded
);

The Toolbox uses the Package GUID to set the UI text for your Toolbox item. In the bstrText element of the TBXITEMINFO structure, you should specify a resource ID of the form "#number". This resource ID must then correspond to the UI string for the Toolbox item in your satellite DLL. The Toolbox persists the package GUID and resource ID for each Toolbox item. This enables it to reassign each Toolbox UI string in the event that the user changes the environment language (locale).
