Suppose that we have a tool window and we want to handle the events when it is moved, resized, re docked, etc.
For doing that we only need to implement the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsWindowFrameNotify3 interface on the tool window.
The following code snippet does the trick:
[Guid("315b41f1-903f-4fcc-af56-a7ad9e84c910")]
public
class
MyToolWindow : ToolWindowPane, IVsWindowFrameNotify3
{
privateMyControl control;
public MyToolWindow()
:
base(null)
{
this.Caption = Resources.ToolWindowTitle;
this.BitmapResourceID = 301;
this.BitmapIndex = 1;
control = newMyControl(this);
}
overridepublicIWin32Window Window
{
get
{
return (IWin32Window)control;
}
}
#region IVsWindowFrameNotify3 Members
publicint OnClose(refuint pgrfSaveOptions)
{
returnVSConstants.S_OK;
}
publicint OnDockableChange(int fDockable, int x, int y, int w, int h)
{
returnVSConstants.S_OK;
}
publicint OnMove(int x, int y, int w, int h)
{
returnVSConstants.S_OK;
}
publicint OnSize(int x, int y, int w, int h)
{
returnVSConstants.S_OK;
}
publicint OnShow(int fShow)
{
returnVSConstants.S_OK;
}
#endregion
}
One important thing to mention is that when the user click on the “X” of a tool window, VS doesn’t close it, it only hides it. When the IDE shuts down that is the only time when the tool window is closed.
