NAPQ :( .. Getting custom controls to be displayed in toolbar
-
I have a Common UI project that contains many commonly used controls and wrappers for Buttons, label, textbox, treeview, etc. E.g.
public class ButtonEx:Button { /*custom properties*/ }When I work on actual projects, I add this CommonUI project to the solution as an existing project. How the heck do I get the Visual Studio to recognize my the common controls and display them in the Toolbar? I don't want to explicitely add the controls by right-clicking on Toolbar and selecting Add-Remove Tools as that will create a copy of my primary DLL in VS's temp location. I can get all of my user-controls to show up in Toolbar by opening them in designer mode, and (re)building the solution. I just can't get controls NOT deriving from UserControl to show up. I've tried closing/reopening VS several times, but no luck. Any suggestion? Thanks, - Malhar
