i'm writing a visual studio 2010 extension and got a ToolWindow with a ToolWindowToolbar.
in my toolbar i want to add a split button that while pressing the button (left part) will show the 'open file' dialog, and when pressing the arrow (right part) will show a list of recently opened files.
i have tried several ways to no avail, can you help?
This thread from MSDN Visual Studio Extensibility Forum might help you.

I recently installed Visual Studio 2015 Blend, but can't find the toolbox!
I have searched and searched, but haven't been able to locate it, and it's quite essential, so any help would be appreciated.
Try: View -> Other Windows -> Toolbox or ctrl + alt + x
Click Toolbox on the View menu. You can dock the Toolbox, and you can pin it open or set it to Auto Hide.
In the Solution Explorer Pane there should be 4 tabs (my tabs are on the bottom). Select Assets. In the Assets pane on the left are groups, click through these to discover all the controls. Be sure to expand all of the categories as many of the controls are nested.
I'm a total newbie to Visual Studio and Blend and I was looking for help to the same question. In my case the tools appeared only when in the Solution Explorer view I right-clicked Assets, chose Add >> New Item >> Visual C++ >> XAML >> Content Dialog.
I had the same question. there is no toolbox for blend and also there are no any components in Assets window.
goto : View ⇒ Edit in Visual Studio
This will open Visual Studio another application.
there is toolbox.
Design --> Show Tools
You can also type "Tool" into Quick Launch, the first result should be "Design --> Show Tools" which will do that same thing
It is a different tool box from Visual Studio
They are on the left within the Designer window. In the tool box there is an >> icon which opens all controls.
In Blend for VS 2019 and VS 2017 it is called "Assets". It is under View--> Assets Window, or ctrl + alt + x
I am trying to learn Visual Basic with the guidance of some YouTube Tutorials. They have recommended the use of Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 as it has a built in compiler. I encountered a problem where my toolbox bar on the left of my screen is empty. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Just right click inside tools and click on "show all"
Your code may be running. Make sure to stop all processes and view the toolbox again.
On Visual Studio C++ 2012, it also happen sometimes. Try, to right click inside the Toolbox dialog and click on "Reset Toolbox" item. It should solve your problem.
See same question: How to rebuild the Visual Studio Toolbox?
What you need to do is to open your code in [Design] view. In this view you don't see the code as text, but rather as windows and buttons and so on.
Choose your favorite way to switch to the [Design] view :
A. View > Designer
B. Shift + F7
C. In the Solution Explorer window double click Form1.cs

How do I open a Visual Studio project in design view?
I have created an asp.net project in visual studio 2010 ultimate edition.
I can't see Standard, Data etc toolbox tabs, I can only see Telerik and HTML controls.
I tried to reset the toolbox, tried to delete C:\Users\mypcuser\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\*.tbd.
I also tried devenv /ResetSkipPkgs but nothing worked for me.
Please suggest a Solution thanks!
This may help you.
In the Toolbox, select the tab where you want to add the control.
Right-click the Toolbox and select Choose Items from the shortcut menu.
The Choose Toolbox Items dialog box opens. The following illustration shows the Choose Toolbox Items dialog box.
Try to right click on the Toolbox and select "Reset Toolbox"
The common controls should appear in the Dialog Editor list along with all the MFC ones that I seem to be limited to when the problem happens.
I have this happen frequently. I don't know what causes it, but this fix always works and is fine for me since I didn't customize anything.
This will help you...
In Visual studio, go to view-toolbar-check standard and layout..
Then restart the visual studio and be sure on design page and check for toolbox..
Now the standard toolbox items will appear.. Thanks.
Just for the Future Viewer of this page
VS 2010 standard ToolBox cannot be viewed.
Mostly this is happen on a first run.
It solved the problem with Ctrl + Alt + X in your keyboard.
In visual studio 2010 Ultimate I was working with Apply Style window and I temporarily closed this window by clicking X on it. Later when I look for it under View > Apply Style (its usual place) it wasn't there. devenv /resetsettings not seem to be working for me. any idea on how I can return the window back?
Thanks,
Try Tools-->Customize and then look for the Add Command button, where you can find the Apply Styles window under the "View" category.
The problem is solved by resetting the settings..
From Menu, Tools > Import and Export Settings is selected and using the wizard IDE is reset. Then the lost icons come back (visible and ready) under View.
you have to switch to HTML (Web Form) Explorer.
in your solution explorer
right click on index.html >
Open with... >
HTML (Web Form) Explorer
then in your visual studio toolbar select VIEW and you should find Apply Style now
In VS2008, specifically:
Is it possible to add "close all" as well as "close all but this"?
Can we add a close button to each tab, like in FF, rather than having to right-click?
Is it possible to add "close all" as well as "close all but this"?
That's spelled "Window/Windows", Ctrl+A, "Close Window(s)"
Can we add a close button to each tab, like in FF, rather than having to right-click?
I don't think there's anything built in for this, and I doubt that any plugin could tweak the UI that much. You might make a feature request, though.
PowerCommands for Visual Studio 2008 add Close All to tab context menu. Tabs Studio add-in (developed by me) add a close button to each tab.
