Is there a way to get the HWnd pointer to the top window of Visual Studio 2010 from a VSIX extension? (I would like to change the title of the window). Since there are good chances that your VSIX extension will be running in-process with Visual Studio, you should try this: System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainWindowHandle (Note if you do this too early, you'll get VS Splash screen ...) I'm assuming you want to do this programatically in C#? You'll need to define this P/Invoke inside your class: [DllImport("user32.dll")] static extern int SetWindowText(IntPtr hWnd, string text);

I am creating an extension for Visual Studio (2012+) that involves a tool window. I was hoping to style the window identically to match the current theme of Visual Studio. However, I am having a great deal of trouble figuring out how to do it. This post suggests that applying no style at all is all that is required, but that does not match my experience thus far (even creating a default VSIX project in VS2017 and adding a tool window shows a button that I would argue is standard WPF in theme and not VS themed, at least when using the dark VS theme in VS2017).
