add control onto ToolBox palette

[R.A.F.]

Hi,

I'm still struggling with my issue about how programmatically add a
custom control on Toolbox palette.

it creates well my TAB with my custom name, but it does not add my
custom control.
where could the problem be ?

here is the code :

// Create a EnvDTE object.
System.Type t = System.Type.GetTypeFromProgID("VisualStudio.DTE.8. 0");
// visual studio 2005

object obj = System.Activator.CreateInstance(t, true);
EnvDTE.DTE env = (EnvDTE.DTE)obj;

// Find the ToolBox Window and ToolBox Tabs collection
Window win = env.Windows.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsWindowKindTool box);
ToolBox tb = (ToolBox)win.Object;
ToolBoxTabs tbts = tb.ToolBoxTabs;

// check if the tabs we will create, already exist
int i = 1;
bool bFound = false;
while ( (i < tbts.Count) && !bFound)
{
if (tbts.Item(i).Name == "RogTech")
{
// the tab already exists, so we will update it with new control version
bFound = true;
}

i++;
}
if (!bFound)
{
// the tab does not exist, so we will create it.
// Insert a new Tab in the tab collection.
ToolBoxTab tbt = tbts.Add("RogTech");
tbt.Activate();

// Insert the new Component.
EnvDTE.ToolBoxItem tbi = tbt.ToolBoxItems.Add("XGrid",
@"XTGrid.dll",
vsToolBoxItemFormat.vsToolBoxItemFormatDotNETCompo nent);

// release environment
env.Solution.Close(false);
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(env);

}

thanks a lot,

RAF
