Joris Laperre (VIP) Hi, I'm writing an add-in that adds controls to a form at design time. I got this working for visible controls on the form by getting an IDesignerHost for the form, and adding to the Controls collection of the RootComponent, but this doesn't work for components in the ComponentTray (I want to add an ImageList). I suspect I need to call the Add method of the Controls collection on the ComponentTray, but I don't know how to get to the ComponentTray object for a Form or UserControl. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Joris Reply to this message...        Iulian (VIP) You actually need to use the CreateComponent() method of the IDesignerHost that will automatically add the component where it needs to be added, e.g. if it is a component that goes in the tray you will see it there. Similar to remove one use DestroyComponent(). regards, Iulian http://www.olvio.com/ "Joris Laperre" wrote: [Original message clipped] Reply to this message...        Joris Laperre (VIP) Hi Iulian, That's exactly what I need.
