Remarks
A Window object represents the ToolBox's window. The ToolBox contains a collection of ToolBoxTab objects, such as controls. Individual items in the ToolBox tabs are represented by ToolBoxItem objects.
A special tab named Clipboard contains the last 15 items cut or copied to the clipboard.
There is only one ToolBox object in the IDE.

Dim tlBox As ToolBox = win.Object
Dim tbxTabs As ToolBoxTabs
' Create an object reference to the ToolBoxTabs object.
tbxTabs = tlBox.ToolBoxTabs
' Now you can manipulate the ToolBox.
' List the total number of tabs in the ToolBox.
