I am looking for the type of control/service that the IDE uses as the toolbox. I like the constomizing features of allowing the end user to dock, auto-hide, select as a tabbed document, or leave it locked in possition.
doing some searching on the web has pointed to the itoolbox service and I was interested if this is the control I am looking for and is there a way to work on the design of the toolbox inside the design view instead of code view
thank you in advance for your time.
newbie looking for specific information

The controls used by the IDE are custom controls, they are not available in the framework. You need to find custom controls or write your own to get the behaviours you see in all but the most simple controls.
I should add that the IDE is plainly not written in VB.NET or C#, it's written in C++. C++ also does not have these controls, they have been custom written.

its written in C# but there is plenty of documentation that alows for ease of use within VB or C#
