Been working on a personal add-in for VS 2008 and have been researching automation and control. I see there are lots of examples for adding a .dll reference to the registry so they show in the ".NET" tab in the Add Reference dialog.
What I would like to do, however, is add a new tab to the reference dialog with some functionality therein. Is it possible to do this? I can't seem to find any documentation for modifying the Add Reference dialog.
Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure about extending the existing dialog, but you might consider creating your own. Here is a blog post where someone created a new dialog in order to have a faster load time. You might be able to start with that code and modify as needed.
Yep, I found that exact post and that is probably what I'll do. Thank you for the feedback!
More interesting info can now be found in the MSDN forums. I have a bit more success, but am not totally done yet.
