'Declaration
Protected Sub AddToolWindow ( _
    toolWindowType As Type _

protected void AddToolWindow(

void AddToolWindow(

protected function AddToolWindow(

Parameters

  • toolWindowType
    Type: System.Type
    The type of tool window to add.

Remarks

If your package supports tool windows, you should call this method when the ModelingPackage class is initialized.

Only single-instance tool windows are supported. Therefore, a 1:1 mapping always results.

Instances of tool windows are created on demand.

Examples

The following example registers a custom tool window that is defined in the CustomToolWindow class.

protected override void Initialize()
  {
     //Initializes the base class for the package 
     base.Initialize();

     //Registers a custom tool window
     this.AddToolWindow(typeof(CustomToolWindow));
  }
