Remarks

Applying this attribute to a subclass of the ToolWindowPane results in a tool window that the Visual Studio shell automatically shows or hides. The appearance of this window depends on the internal visibility attribute and the UI context information described in the package's .vsct file. If Visual Studio automatically shows a window and the user closes it, after that Visual Studio will never automatically show the window again. In order to see the tool window again after it has been closed, the user must manually open the window or delete \<USER>\Application Data\Microsoft\Visual Studio\<version>\1033\windows.prf, the Visual Studio file that saves shell information (including which windows are open, their location and size) when Visual Studio shuts down. After the window's internal visibility state is reset to true, the expected visibility behavior again occurs.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
