The way to do it is to iterate over the tab pages and for each one call TabControl.GetTabRect. If your mouse coordinate exists inside the returned rectange, set that tab to the selected tab. "we must lose precision to make significant statements about complex systems." -deKorvin on uncertainty

While this won't solve your immediate problem, it's important to understand the design-time features of the .NET Framework. Read Enhancing Design-Time Support[^] in the .NET Framework SDK for more details. Much of what you see in VS.NET when designing with forms and controls is actually provided by classes in the BCL. For integration like you want, see the Visual Studio Extensibility Center[^]. Also see the Automation and Extensibility Reference[^] in MSDN Librayr, which documents the DTE (Design-Time Environment) object model and gives C# and VB.NET (as well as C++, of course) examples. Whatever you read for VB (as in VB6), the same is pretty much true since the EnvDTE assembly is an interop assembly created from the typelib that automation clients like VB6 use to automate and object library. Specifically, you'll want to take a look at the VSProjectItem Object[^]. If you look in VS.NET's New Project dialog, you'll also see a couple of extensibility projects that serve as a good start.

You'll have to convert your app to an add-in to achieve this. Once you do, the code to add a command to the context menu of the code window is straightforward: try { Office::CommandBarPtr ptrCodeWindowCommandBar = ptrCommandBars->GetItem(CComVariant(L"Code Window") ); if (ptrCodeWindowCommandBar != NULL) { Office::CommandBarControlPtr ptrControl = ptrCommand->AddControl(ptrCodeWindowCommandBar, lPos); if (ptrControl != NULL) { Office::_CommandBarButtonPtr ptrButton(ptrControl); if (ptrButton != NULL) { ptrButton->PutStyle(Office::msoButtonAutomatic); } } } } catch (_com_error& e) { HRESULT hr = e.Error(); } Writing add-ins can be a difficult task, but ultimately it's rather rewarding. Good luck!

If you're talking about a network filter, you treat it like any other HTTP request or response. Extract the body and check if it uses the SOAP namespace. If so, you can extract additional information from the HTTP headers or from the WS-Routing or WS-Addressing elements, if available in the SOAP header. If you just want to log information about SOAP calls, you can add a client or server sink to the chain that uses information from the IMessage that's passed to it to log information about the call.

It you'd like an easy way to determine if something is an assembly in Windows Explorer (I know this isn't what you're looking for, but you might like it anyway), see my free shell extension on this site - with source included - Shell Extensions for .NET Assemblies[^]. A couple column providers are also provided to custom a detailed view in Windows Explorer. There's also code in there that shows how you determine if an executable is an assembly or not by navigating through the virtual tables in the PE/COFF header. There is a managed way to do this as well, but I can't seem to find it. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles
