I'm currently developing an Add-In for VS.Net 2003. It has a commandbar
with
a couple of commandbuttons. I use the DTE.Commands.AddNamedCommand
method to
create a VS-wide command (gets persisted throughout sessions) and the
Command.AddControl method to add the command to the commandbar
(respectively
toolbar).

So far so good, now I'd like to add a combobox to my commandbar where I
can
display a current configuration setting, just like the Build dropdown
(Debug, Release). I couldn't figure out yet how to get that in there.
How Do I build another UI element other then button in the toolbar?
Anybody got an idea?

Thanks, Christoph
