VB

Imports EnvDTE  
Imports EnvDTE80  
Sub CaptionExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)  
    Dim Frame As Window  
    Dim w1 As Window = _  
 _applicationObject.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindSolutionExplorer)  
    Dim w2 As Window = _  
_applicationObject.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindOutput)  
    ' Create a linked window frame and dock Solution Explorer   
    ' and the Ouput window together inside it.  
    Frame = _applicationObject.Windows.CreateLinkedWindowFrame(w1, w2, _  
    vsLinkedWindowType.vsLinkedWindowTypeDocked)  
    MsgBox("Total number of windows in the linked window frame: " & _  
    Frame.LinkedWindows.Count)  
    ' View some window properties.  
    MsgBox("Window ObjectKind property value: " & Frame.ObjectKind)  
    MsgBox("Window Caption for w1: " & w1.Caption)  
    ' Resize the entire linked window frame.  
    Frame.Width = 500  
    Frame.Height = 600  
    Frame.Left = 100  
    MsgBox("Frame height, width, and position changed.")  
End Sub
