I'm starting WPF. I need a tab on the sides of the screen; I do not know how to open that tab.
I do know how to open solution explorer but not other things like properties, notifications and toolbox.
Please see the below screenshot, just click the ones you want then pin them as needed

Is it possible to get the window tabs in a vertical row? That way I can navigate to way more windows directly, using the mouse. I know there are paid tools available, but using them is not an option in my working environment...
I fear this will cost me some precious evenings, making an add-in myself. Can anyone give me a head start? What are the best starting points for making a SSMS add-in like this? Or even better, is there an existing project I can use as a starting point?
If you don't want to spend money on Tab Studio, then you can still have your tabs vertically.
Just click on the 'Solutions Explorer' on the top tool bars (or ctrl+alt+L), then drag the appearing window, and nest it into the left of the management studio window, the same way as Object Explorer is there by default.
It will list all the files in the 'project' vertically, which will happens to be all your tabs on the top.
Normal context menus in Visual Studio always appear right to the mouse after you open them. Is it possible to make the context menu to appear left to the mouse after it opens? So it actually opens from right to left, instead from left to right.
Hope you know what I mean. (And no, the text in it is NOT meant, just the way the context menu opens) I wasn't able to find anything on that. It's just for aesthetics btw.
This is a new ergonomic feature in the Windows. The Windows check if you are using a touch screen than the Menus will open at the left side the reason is the human hand cover the right side of the clicked/pressed area (mouse pointer does not do that).

I found the soultion for your prblem :-) you have to select from Tablet PC Settings the Left Handed, this will solve your problem.
Press the Windows logo key+R to bring up the Run dialog box. In the Open line, copy/paste the following text.
shell:::{80F3F1D5-FECA-45F3-BC32-752C152E456E}
Press OK.
This will start the Tablet PC Settings configuration dialog (Even if you do not have a Tablet PC).
Select the Other Tab.
In the Handedness section, place a check mark in the Left Handed option.
Click OK.
Look to this information from microsoft:

I want to add a new button to the menu when you right click on a solution. I want to add a button to to custom things with TFS and building and would like for it to be available when you right click on a solution. Currently there are several buttons for building cleaning etc. I am able to get a button onto the solution explorer toolbar (Circled in red) but would like to have it appear in the other menu (in the red square) Any help would be appreciated.
I followed this tutorial to get to where I am at now. Thanks
I can tell you how to add commands to that context menu: under the Tools menu -> Customize, in the Commands tab, click "Context menu:", find "Project and Solution Context Menus | Solution" in the extremely long and unwieldy dropdown, then hit Add Command... and add the command you want in that menu.
I've only used that information to add a macro (to replace the native "Open Containing Folder" command with one that used a different file manager), I've never tried to create my own command that wasn't a macro, but I expect if you were able to get custom Commands in custom buttons, you might also be able to find them in the Add Command dialog as well?
i am building a C# application, i have explored its all controls but i cant find the left menu style which i usually see in software applications for example visual studio, i am attaching the image of what i need.
Please let me know how can i use it in my forms. I have used a tab menu control in visual studio, but it is not what i required, its tabs are vertical, but i want the exact like i shown in attachment. I think it requires some reference to add.
I don't think that control is available, which means you would have to make one yourself. Here is a link from someone that made one. I haven't tried it: Visual Studios "My Project" Tab Control
There is no such a control in the ToolBox by default. But you could create one for you.
Creat a user controller.
Added a SplitContainer and set Dock.Fill.
Add a FlowLayoutPanel to the Left panel. Add buttons or labels as you wish and implement the click event.
I've just recently started using VS2008 for a new tools project, and have been spending a lot of time in Eclipse/Java. The one thing I am missing is the thing I could have sworn was in VS2005 the last time I worked with it - the class outline.
I'm speaking of the basic outline in Eclipse, where you can see the class members, methods, etc and click on them to navigate to them.
The only thing that sounds like it might be it (but is not) is the Class View.
Any help?
This is probably the closest addin that you'll find that has it:
Source Code Outliner Power Toy
(The window on the left is what it adds to Visual Studio)
alt text http://i3.codeplex.com/Project/Download/FileDownload.aspx?ProjectName=SourceCodeOutliner&DownloadId=3493
"You can dock the Source Code Outliner anywhere, like to the left side of the Visual Studio window next to the Code Editor window."
"Click a method or variable name in Source Outliner and the code associated with what you clicked displays near the top of the Code Editor window."
JetBrains Reshaper.
This is what I had to do:
Open the Object Browser (View->Object Browser). It will open as a tab.
Right click the tab and select the "dockable" option. Then it will open as a window floating around.
I have 2 monitors, so in one of them I have visual studio, and in the other I put the Object Browser window. If you click something in the Object Browser, it will take you to where it is defined in the visual studio editor.
Not the same as the Eclipse outline (I miss it too), but this is the closest to it I'have found without adding pluggins.
Try this menu option:
View > Class View
The default keyboard shortcut is
Control + Shift + C
