I've already read this article and i didnt find the information i
needed. I want to mimic the behaviour of usercontrol. That it apears in
the toolbox without compiling to a dll and adding this to the toolbox.
Here i found somebody with the same problem and some part of a solution

Hi John,

Look at the ShapeContainerRootDesigner | ToolBox support section the code
dor OnLoadComplete. I think that is what you are after
