Isolated Shell: Custom Project Properties as Tool window

Question

Hello,

For my custom project type, I'd like the "Properties" option of the project to bring up a custom tool window to modify the properties of a project.  I'm using the MPF and have read in previous posts that instead of inheriting from SettingsPage I need to instead inherit IPropertyPage and replace the Activate method.  I tried doing this but it appears a modal dialog still comes up (it's empty however).  

Also, from within the Activate method, I'm unsure how I can go by displaying my tool window.

Any suggestions?

I figured it out.  I did not need to inherit IPropertyPage.  Rather, I just needed to inherit SettingsPage and pass it a UserControl which contained a WPF element host.  This combined with setting the SupportsProjectDesigner property of my ProjectNode to true allowed me to host a WPF page inside of the settings page.
