dotnet windows forms designtime: Hi,

For my own components, how do I add them to a own tab automatically? I add
them to the toolbox using this method:

[ToolboxItem(true)]
[ToolboxBitmap(typeof(MyStuff.Common.Controls.MyComboBox),
"MyComboBox.ico")]

I would like to specify an attribute that says which tab in the toolbox the
components should appear under. Maybe there is some way other than specifing
an attribute?

regards

Carl

The only way you can do this is through programatically accessing the Visual
Studio object model.

There is no attribute to allow this, there should be but there isn't.

You can write a custom installer that accesses the VS object model using the
EnvDTE namspace.
