Examples

Sub ToolboxExample()  
    ' Define the variables and create an object reference to the IDE's    
    ' ToolBox object.  
    Dim win As Window = DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindToolbox)  
    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.  
    MsgBox("Number of ToolBox tabs: " & tbxTabs.Count)  
End Sub

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.
