Hmmm. I don't think doing so will work, because toolbars do NOT take its
controls from the GAC.
(nor does the VS.NET IDE takes its References from there, by the way)
GAC is used mostly at runtime, and has almost no influence on the IDE
As for the Add-in, doing a basic one is quite simple:
1) add a new project of type "VS.NET Add-in" (found in Other projects -
Extensibility Projects), this launches a wizard.
2) on the Options page, select both "Yes, create a 'Tools' menu item...."
and "My Addin should be available to all users...."
3) the wizard adds two projects to the solution: the addin itself, and the
addin setup project.
On the Exec method of the Connect.cs class (assuming you choose C#, it's
similar for VB)
place this code within the if(commandName == "MyAddin1.Connect.MyAddin1")
block:
Window win =
applicationObject.Windows.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsWindowKindToolbox);
ToolBox objToolbox = (ToolBox)win.Object;
ToolBoxTabs colTbxTabs = objToolbox.ToolBoxTabs;
//Now you can manipulate the ToolBox!
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Number of ToolBox tabs: " +
colTbxTabs.Count.ToString());
NOTE: for MessageBox to work you need to add a reference to
System.Windows.Forms
4) For a try, you may leave only this code by now (later you may use the
toolbox object model to add / replace your controls on a toolbox tab of your
own, or on an existing one)
5) After building this project you must manually build the setup project (by
default its disabled in the solution configuration), then close all VS
instances and run the .msi file from the bin/debug folder of the setup
project. When you reopen the IDE and select the Tools menú... Voilà!
Regards
Jose.
