How to Create a New Document Window in a VS.NET Add-in

[Charles Law]

Does anyone know how to create a new document window in VB.NET (or any other
language)?

I have Googled extensively but to no avail.

I am creating a VS add-in, and want to include my own document window to
present some information.

Any pointers greatly received.

TIA

Hi,

Take a look at the addfromtemplate and addfromfile methods

Link to some good resources for vs.net add-ins and macros

Hi Ken

Thanks for the reply. The first two look like they are to do with files, in
some way. I am thinking more in terms of creating a form: either a windows
form or an html form. In each case, there is no file to load from. A good
example of what I am trying to achieve is what Document X! does with its UI.

I will look more closely at the third link.

Cheers.

Charles
