I have an add-in that I wrote in VS2003. Is there a way to make active a
specific category of the TaskList? Currently I am making the TaskList window
active after my process finishes running. I would like to be able to make
the TaskList window active with a specific category selected. Here is the
code I am currently using to activate the TaskList window:
applicationObject.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindTaskList).Activate();

Thanks,

Mike

Is this the same for Visual Studio 2003? I have not ported it to Visual
Studio 2005 yet.

I tried something similar to the example you sent me.
applicationObject.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindTaskList).Activate();
applicationObject.Commands.Raise ("{4A9B7E50-AA16-11D0-A8C5-00A0C921A4D2}",
679, ref customIn, ref customOut);
When it executes the second line I get this exception:
"Trying to revoke a drop target that has not been registered"
Any suggestions?

Mike

I don´t know, I saw that approach for VS 2005, not sure about 2003.

You can post here and someone from MS will likely take a look:
