VS2010 SDK - Adding Display Items to the Fonts and Colors options dialog - visual-studio-2010

I'm trying to add custom Display Items to the Fonts and Colors dialog. I can successfully save and retrieve colors using the IVsFontAndColorStorage service but the items do not appear in the list of Display Items. I have tried following this blog post about adding a custom category. My category appeared but only with the default display items. My real goal is to add my custom colors to the "Text Editor" category. ReSharper does a similar thing.
Have anyone had experience with this? Is there a nice tutorial out there?

I eventually went a different route. This thread has the details on how to accomplish it: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vseditor/thread/ed463657-6a36-4e33-b313-b2923cc81a74

I'm writing an Editor Extension and wondered the same thing. It as easy as decorating the attributes you want to appear with UserVisible(true). See this thread for more information.

How to add RichText editor to a page as component in HippoCMS?

I'm creating some project using HippoCMS 10 and I need to add RichText editor as part of the page, so that customer can use it and fill something there. This editor must act exactly the same way as in Document Editor (customer can click Image button in toolbar and select image from ImagePicker dialog box).
Can't find anything about it in HippoCMS official documentation. I learned how to create custom plugins and how to integrate CKEditor into page separately, but for image picking, I need default behaviour as in Hippo.
How can I achieve this? Any help will be appreciated!
I think your question was answered on the community group. The answer there was:
"it should be quite easy to have a CKEditor in the website.
However, it doesn't really make sense to me to have site visitors able to pick CMS documents and images from the site. The picker dialogs are designed to work inside the CMS only. You should be able to create your own picker dialog that can read from a REST service that exposes the images/documents.
I don't think it will be possible to reuse the CMS picker dialog in the site."
and
"your use case is fine, when I said "it doesn't really make sense", I was really referring to the technical limitations of the pickers. You should be able to achieve what you want with a custom dialog that plugs into a REST service though. Unfortunately there is no quick solution for this that I can think of."
Just adding this for future reference.

The options for configurable products are created here:

Just edit the *.phtml to your needs. In default it is a simple select box.

where is the specific button on design mode?

how can i find the specific button on design mode where i have several buttons ie: hundered of buttons so that they all like spaghetti and one button may be under another button or a groupbox (i might be playing with the visibilities ) and i want to see my button number 83 on the design. how can i see him? where is he hiding? :) i use visual studio as an IDE. thanks.
MessageBox.Show(" where is the specific button? i know that he is somewhere on the form but cant distinguish it on the design since its somewhere under something i cant find it");
Use Document Outline (View - Other Windows - Document Outline)
Just pick the button from the tree and voila.
PS: this works for other types of designers (WPF/Silverlight, ASP.NET)
You can access it via the Properties Window. There is a drop-down that will list all of the items in your form in design mode.
Then use the drop-down. The drop-down will list all of the items on your form so you will scroll through the list to find Button number 83.
Images were pulled from MS Visual Studio: The properties Window which contains an explanation of the window.
Have you tried using the properties window?

How can I show different category layout from three different modules?

One of client of my projects has asked me to aggregate two different modules in one menu tab.
He needs like, if a user clicks on One Menu Tab, he needs a picture gallery and video gallery to be shown all together.
I have checked that it is possible by creating a category layout of each of them.But the thing is I cannot figure out how to show both of them together, under a single Menu Tab.
Please guide me!
Thanks in advance.
I might be misunderstanding you but can't you just publish both modules in the same module placeholder and assign them to the menu?

WIX/DTF - Dialog with a list, edit field and add/remove buttons on it

Anybody knows a good source to get an idea how to create this kind of a dialog?
I'm well aware that I'll need to write some CA's for that but relatively new to WiX (used to work with InstallShield).
TIA!
This can get you started. Does not contain info about edit fields and buttons, but have a listbox. As an example, it populates IIS websites into the listbox. Very good source of info.
