Remarks
If your package supports tool windows, you should call this method when the ModelingPackage class is initialized.
Only single-instance tool windows are supported. Therefore, a 1:1 mapping always results.
Instances of tool windows are created on demand.
Examples
The following example registers a custom tool window that is defined in the CustomToolWindow class.
protected override void Initialize()
{
//Initializes the base class for the package
base.Initialize();
//Registers a custom tool window
this.AddToolWindow(typeof(CustomToolWindow));
}
