I am trying to create a Visual Studio Extension and I need to add a button to a specific window. Where am I able to find the "source code" behind this screen in order to add it?
I have tried parsing through different examples and looking through documentation.
<Button guid="guidSWO"
id="EnableDisableguidSWO" priority="0x0100" type="Button">
<Parent guid="guidSWO" id="MyMenuGroup" />
<Icon guid="guidImages" id="bmpPic1" />
<Strings>
<ButtonText>Enable/Disable SWO</ButtonText>
</Strings>
</Button>
This snip of code displays the button in the menu, but I want to display the button in the Quick Watch Menu
Good idea but I'm afraid this behavior is not supported for now.
Related documents about extending ToolWindow topic:
Extend and customize tool windows
Extend the Properties, Task List, Output, and Options windows
To display the button in the menu, you can easily do this by creating a custom command template. And now what you want to is to extend the ToolWindow, you can check the documents above and you'll find you can extend the Output Window, Properties Window and so on but other windows like Quick Watch Window and Diagnostic Tools Window are not supported.
We can't extend the Quick Watch Window by adding a new button into it,as far as I know it is not supported. The Quick Watch Window is different from the Solution Explorer or Output Window. I would think the Output window use TableControl or TableView or ListView or what as part of its UI Window, so it's easy to extend it since the VS SDK provides some related API like IVsOutputWindow. But for Quick Watch window, there's no such API in VS SDK to extend its UI.
