Is there a Visual Studio 2010 Add On for Tabbed Multi-Monitor support

Question

In Visual Studio 2010 you can drag tabs out to separate windows but you can not collect them together as additional tabbed elements. Is there a VS 2010 add-on to allow you to group your extra windows into tabs? It would be really nice to have a set of tabs on each of my monitors.

@ChrisDwyer: whilst not strictly code related, it is a valid question for StackOverflow as many of us use Visual Studio. – Dru

Answer 1

The best place to look is the Visual Studio Gallery for 2010 Extensions. If you are lucky someone else has already had the idea and created an extension (VSIX) for you.

Otherwise, why do you have a go at writing it yourself by grabbing a copy of the Visual Studio 2010 SDK and read the Getting Started Guide.

UPDATE: I just stumbled on this awesome Visual Studio Extension that may do want you are looking for: Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools.

No there is no such thing in the Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools. – Echinoderm

@khebbie: Whilst there is nothing explicitly in the Pro Power Tools extension - the Document Tab extension does allow you organise your code tabs and could be helpful to the OP and anyone else that finds this question. Note: the may do what you are looking for part of my answer. – Dru

Productivity Power Tools does it, and it's free. The feature is called Document Well.
