Installing own control into the VS toolbox?

[Johnny Jörgensen]

Does anybody know how to create a new group in the Visual Studio toolbox and
install a custom control into that group - all during the installation?

I assume that it requires some registry tweaking, but what keys?

Cheers,
Johnny J.

Johny,

The latter part from your question is easy, just right click on the toolbox
and then browse to your control. For the first part I never had any idea I
wanted that, there are already more tabs than I want.

To be honest, I didn't read this article, but it appears to do what
you need. It says it's for VS 2002 and VS 2003, but it probably could
be upgraded to VS 2005 without much trouble.
