using VSShell = global::Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell;
using System;
namespace <#= CodeGenerationUtilities.GetPackageNamespace(this.Dsl) #>
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Extension to language Package class to register toolwindow
    /// </summary>
    [VSShell.ProvideToolWindow(typeof(global::<#= CodeGenerationUtilities.GetPackageNamespace(this.Dsl) #>.DslEditorPowerToy.Controls.<#= dslName #>DslEditorToolWindow), MultiInstances = false, Style = VSShell.VsDockStyle.Tabbed, Orientation = VSShell.ToolWindowOrientation.Right, Window = "{4a9b7e51-aa16-11d0-a8c5-00a0c921a4d2}") /* beneath the diagram */]
    [VSShell.ProvideToolWindowVisibility(typeof(global::<#= CodeGenerationUtilities.GetPackageNamespace(this.Dsl) #>.DslEditorPowerToy.Controls.<#= dslName #>DslEditorToolWindow), Constants.<#= dslName #>EditorFactoryId)]
    partial class <#= dslName #>Package
    {
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            base.Initialize();

            //Add toolwindows
            this.AddToolWindow(typeof(global::<#= CodeGenerationUtilities.GetPackageNamespace(this.Dsl) #>.DslEditorPowerToy.Controls.<#= dslName #>DslEditorToolWindow));

//here i add code like this :

 Debug.Write(this.GetToolWindow(typeof(global::DCMS.EasyBridge.DslPackage.DslEditorPowerToy.Controls.EasyBridgeDslEditorToolWindow))==null);

the result is true;

why? who tell me thanks.

       get
            {
                DeptControls.\<#= dslName \#>DslEditorToolWindow toolWindow = null;
                DslShell.ModelingPackage package = this.ServiceProvider.GetService(typeof(VSShell.Package)) as DslShell.ModelingPackage;

                if (package != null)
                    toolWindow = package.GetToolWindow(typeof(DeptControls.\<#= dslName \#>DslEditorToolWindow), true) as DeptControls.\<#= dslName \#>DslEditorToolWindow;

//here the toolWindow is null

                  return toolWindow;

i know there had create on window in vs because in my DSLPackage Project i can see the window with no windowtitle and tab name.

temporary

i edit the template in DslPackage\DetailsEditor\GeneratedCode\CommandSet.tt like below

 get
            {
                DeptControls.<#= dslName #>DslEditorToolWindow toolWindow = null;
                DslShell.ModelingPackage package = this.ServiceProvider.GetService(typeof(VSShell.Package)) as DslShell.ModelingPackage;

                if (package != null)
				{
                    toolWindow = package.GetToolWindow(typeof(DeptControls.<#= dslName #>DslEditorToolWindow), true) as DeptControls.<#= dslName #>DslEditorToolWindow;
					if (toolWindow == null)
                    {
                        Guid guid = new Guid(typeof(DeptControls.<#= dslName #>DslEditorToolWindow).GUID.ToString());
                        try
                        {
                            package.CreateToolWindow(ref guid, 200);
                            toolWindow = package.GetToolWindow(typeof(DeptControls.<#= dslName #>DslEditorToolWindow), true) as DeptControls.<#= dslName #>DslEditorToolWindow;
                        }
                        catch (Exception e)
                        {
                            Debug.WriteLine(e.Message);
                        }
                    }
				}
                return toolWindow;

so i can get the detail window for my dsl design.

who can tell me the process in this project how to create the window. and why i can't get toolWindow.

New Post: Installation problem.

When using the MSI to install, I get an error saying that I don't have C# installed. This is NOT the case. I am running on Win2K8. Would that cause the problem?

It’s pleasure to Sculpture team to announce that they succeeded in migrating DSL Editor Powertoy to VS2008.

So you can develop DSL projects with DSL Editor Powertoy in VS2008 as the same manner as VS2005 with full functionality (Guidance Package , Editor Configuration Diagram).

For more information and new binary installer and source code see my post here.

I hope it will be useful for all DSL Editor Powertoy users.

Are there any plans for this tool to be supported in VS 08?

I want to respond just to let you know I am not ignoring anyone, I do care, but at present I am a little swamped with real life.
I am hoping to get back to this as soon as possible and get a proper new release going for you guys on Orcas.
Hoping that the fix and workaround above will keep you going for now.

Hi ,

looks like you guys made it to run the tool against VS2008. When do you think an official update of this project running in VS2008 will be available?

Thanks a lot.

Hi, had the same problem here.

Looked in the registry where the processors are registered and EditorConfigurationDirectiveProcessor was not there.

So I executed VSPackageRegistrySettings.reg manually and now it works!

Hi

I just migrated some DSL project to VS2008 RTM with SDK V1.0 and they work fine ... however in a project with the DSL Editor Power Toy i Get an error with the EditorConfiguration attribute.

<#@ EditorConfiguration processor="EditorConfigurationDirectiveProcessor" requires="fileName='..\DslEditorsDefinition.deptec'" #>

in the CommandId.tt file

any ideas ???

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for such delay, I was away. Coming back to this project this week hopefully. Need to clean up code a bit and it's ready for sharing. As I remember I had installer ported as well.

If you wish, I can send you what I have in its current state right away. I also plan to share it on my blog once it's set up (beginning next week), currently I have no place to share the files. For now I can just send the installer and/or sources by email, check your PM for my contact information.

Sorry, somehow I missed this good news in my feeder.

This is great news, what can you share from your work?

No, not yet. Since Orcas is not released yet, and most people will be building on Whidbey still, no port yet.

There is not so much to go wrong in the port as far as code and depenedencies. These should upgrade gracefully.
However, the DSLTools changed from using CTC to VSCT resource file format. This is a major change actually to how the resources of the PowerToy will integrate into the DSL solution and how they are loaded.
We will be getting to this in time.

Happy for someone to have a go and let us know what needs changing.
