    How to write a C# app that has a Toolbox like the one in VS

    I would like to have a toolbar down the left side of my application that
    will very much like the Toolbox that you find in the Visual Studio IDE.
    The toolbox in VS has a way to lock the pullout so that it does not retract.
    It also groups things by category.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to duplicate this
    extremely cool feature. Thanks

      You could take a look here:
      ICSharpCode
      http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/
      ICSharpCode has 20 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.


      It's a fully open source Visual Studio replacement with code and the
      panels you want.

              C# Toolbox control

              I was recently writing a forms designer and used the #develop code as the basis for it.

              I was a bit disappointed that the toolbox had a VS2003 look and feel to it though so I decided to write my own one which I've published on my blog:

              It needs completed but it was good enough for the project I was working on.
