   [out] IDataObject **ppDO
);

This method requires you to specify an IVsToolboxUser and does not assume that the IVsToolboxUser for the active document is the target toolbox user. Because IVsToolboxUser is reserved for documents, you need to implement IVsToolboxUser if you want to provide clipboard cycling for a tool window. Once you do this, you can implement clipboard cycling by passing in your tool window's IVsToolboxUser in a call to IVsToolboxClipboardCycler::GetAndSelectNextDataObject.
