My package is hooking into a project system's build process by means of
IVsBuildableProject.AdviseBuildStatusCallBack and by implementing
IVsBuildStatusCallback.  I get notified of build begin and end notifications

Yesterday I began trying the COM interfaces of DTE using C++ & ATL (I know
it better than C# and Managed C++, and I had already done COM
programming)... I was "exploring" the ToolBox "tree". I finally arrived at
the ToolBoxItems & ToolBoxItem level. But then I noticed that the ...

IOLECommandTarget::QueryStatus and IVsUIHierarchy::QueryStatusCommand.  Is
this possible using anything in the automation model?  I'd like to hide the
command that comes from a package I don't own.

One of my packages allows the user to perform operations on previous
versions of files under source control. Previously, to support VSS, I was
simply looking for ss.exe (after checking for its path in the registry), and
shelling out to it with redirected console IO. But I wanted ...

"ProvideLoadKeyAttribute" and "IVsInstalledProduct.IdIcoLogoForAboutbox")

an automatic mapping of numeric resource IDs to string identifiers, and it

I've seen strings such as "@400" or "#150" passed as arguments into
attributes and other methods, which presumably is interpreted as a numeric
resource identifier.  For example, one standard GetResourceString method
generated as part of my VsPkg.cs:

If I call those command from command window

I've got some commands in my VsPackage that I want to show on a menu before
the package is loaded. They only make sense when a file is open in the IDE,
so I have used UICONTEXT_CodeWindow in the visibility section of my
