Hi All,
I have a VSPackage in both VS2005 and VS2003. In VS2005 there is
[ProvideToolWindow(typeof(MyWindow), PositionX = 200, PositionY = 200, Width = 150, Height = 450, Transient = false)]
attribute and Transient flag indicates whether the tool window should not be reopened when the IDE restarts.
So, I want to do the same in VS2003 with my package. But in
MSVSIP.Helper.ProvideToolWindowAttribute there is no such flag.
Thank you
Analog of "transient" property for MSVSIP.Helper.ProvideToolWindowAttribute in VS2003

Unfortunately you would have to add the necessary registry keys yourself, e.g. during setup of your vspackage.
You should search for "registering unmanaged toolwindow providers" which describes the registry keys needed. This is a partial copy of the docs in that topic
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<version number>\ToolWindows\{f0e1e9a1-9860-484d-ad5d-367d79aabf55}]
@="{01069cdd-95ce-4620-ac21-ddff6c57f012}"
"Name"="Microsoft.Samples.VisualStudio.IDE.ToolWindow.DynamicWindowPane"
"Float"="250, 250, 410, 430"
"DontForceCreate"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0Exp\ToolWindows\{f0e1e9a1-9860-484d-ad5d-367d79aabf55}\Visibility]
"{f1536ef8-92ec-443c-9ed7-fdadf150da82}"=dword:00000000
In the first key in the example above, version number is the version of Visual Studio, such as 7.1 or 8.0, the subkey {f0e1e9a1-9860-484d-ad5d-367d79aabf55} is the GUID of the tool window pane (DynamicWindowPane), and the default value {01069cdd-95ce-4620-ac21-ddff6c57f012} is the GUID of the VSPackage providing the tool window. For an explanation of the Float and DontForceCreate subkeys, see Tool Window Display Configuration.
