Need guidance to add Active X Control in the commandbar of Visual studio shell application

Question

Hi,

We have a visual studio shell application and we are trying to add active x control to the command bar (Tool bar specifically)

Need help to add Active X Control in the commandbar of Visual studio shell application in c#..

We use the below command to create the active x control.

var activeX = toolsCommandBar.Controls.Add(MsoControlType.msoControlActiveX, 1, String.Empty, brideclient.Index + 1, true);

But in this command I am unable to associate the GUID of My Active x control. Can you guide me how to do this?

Hi Hemalatha Nallusamy,

The active x control doesn't support visual studio, which works for ms office app.

And you can try to follow this document to add your activex control to toolbar.

Best Regards,

Dylan
