.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Extensibility / August 2004Persisting ToolWindow state
Hello, I have the following problem: I wrote a managed package which adds a new ToolWindow to VS. Inside the toolwindow, I can connect to different servers (just like adding servers in ServerExplorer). I'd like to get the chance of persisting somehow the list of connected servers so I can load it the next time my window is created. I assumed this can be achieved inside IVsWindowPane.SaveViewState, but unfortunatelly VS does not call this method on my window. Is there something I need to do in order to be called on this method or there is another way this can be done? Thanks a lot, Ciprian Jichici Genisoft Hi Ciprian, In reviewing the code, I could only locate an invocation of this function that occurs when persisting data to a project's SUO file. The function in question retrieves the frame window's docview data pointer from the VSFPROPID_DocView property (which doesn't appear to be a valid property for toolwindows). Then QI's for IVsWindowPane and calls SaveViewPane. I'm not certain if this particular function get's called outsidewhere you actually have an solution loaded yet. You could try loading/saving your custom data in the IVsWindowPane's CreatePaneWindow and CloasePane methods though.

IVsWindowPane::SaveViewPane only gets called for document windows. For toolwindows, VS only persists the layout information. You'll need to handle this manually with CreatePaneWindow and ClosePane on your IVsWindowPane implementation. Sincerely, Ed Dore [MSFT] This post is 'AS IS' with no warranties and confers no rights.
