I have two tool windows in my extension that I want to default dock to the left of the screen much like the solution explorer and properties are default docked to the right of the screen. I have setup my provide tool window attribute like so:
[ProvideToolWindow(typeof(T4AwesomeConfigWindow), Style = VsDockStyle.Tabbed, Orientation = ToolWindowOrientation.Left, Window = "9DDABE98-1D02-11D3-89A1-00C04F688DDE")]
The window guid is pointing to the kindmainwindow, which i assume is the main vs shell window, i found the reference here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/envdte.constants.vswindowkindmainwindow.aspx
This does not work, when I run my extension for the first time and open the window, it opens as a free standing window popped out of the IDE. Does anyone know the correct window guid to use, or if I have one of the other settings wrong? I have tried many variations but none get me the desired result. Here is a picture of what I am after:
Thanks,
Frank
