    OK, now that I have the tool window displayed properly. Which property do I need to change for the tool bar the be displayed as a tab page

    I try to set IsFloating to false, but that dosn't work.

    Thanks.

    Yep, just call ((EnvDTE80.Windows2)DTE.Windows).CreateToolWindow2(...), and supply the location of a .NET user control that implements your new window. You can then set the properties on the returned Window object to make the window appear as a tab, like the current start page.

    Set IsFloating to false and Linkable to true.

    Maybe I wasn't clear enought. It is easy with an add-ins to display a WinForm or a MessageBox, but what I would like is to create a WinForm that is a child windows of Visual Studio 2005, like the Start Page, the Code Editor, the Class Diagram Designer, etc.

    How can I create such form, if it is possible  If not, Is it possible to acheive that otherwise

    Thanks.

    Hi Craig,

    I suppose that you meant "...Linkable to false".
