Hello Everybody

I want to write a few AddIns for the VBA editor VBE with Visual Studio 2005.
I have started to develop them in Visual Basic 6 and it worked well but
Visual Basic .Net offers a lot of better components and features (and of
course it's up to date).

I have already created a basic AddIn that works well in VBE, displays modal
Forms and is already able to manipulate the source code but what I cannot
achieve is a way to create Toolwindows that are able dock along the other
already existant toolwindows.

Im using this code in the OnConnection Method of the connect.vb Module:

Dim objToolWindowTasks As Window
Dim objUserDocumentTasks As Object
Dim objVbe As VBE

objVbe = DirectCast(applicationObject, VBE)

Try
objToolWindowTasks = objVbe.Windows.CreateToolWindow(addInInst,
"VbaCodeRanger.Aufgaben", "Aufgaben", "89045C22-06D3-4E7B-AB34-6114FAC9ED25",
objUserDocumentTasks)
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try

When I load the AddIn in the VBE, the errormessage

Specified method is not supported

Is there anybody out here been able and willing to tell me how to create a
toolwindow for the vbe that is working ?

Thanks

Jan

P.S:

The same code in visual Basic 6 works fine
