Implements
IVsPackage.CreateTool(Guid)Override the CreateTool method in your VSPackage.
The base implementation of the CreateTool method has no effect on the VSPackage. It is provided so that derived classes can provide an implementation if necessary.
The tool windows must be registered with Visual Studio. For information on the relevant registry keys and values, see Tool Windows in the Registry and ProvideToolWindowAttribute
Tool windows can be configured to be persistent. If a persistent tool window is open when the environment is shut down, it is automatically reopened the next time the environment is launched. To reopen Tool windows automatically when the environment is launched, pass CTW_ForceCreate to CreateToolWindow.
This method should not make the Tool window visible; that is, it should not call Show method.
