Visual Studio style Toolbox

Visual Studio-style Toolbox provides the functionality of the shortcut (outlook) bar with pages containing only buttons with images (as an alternative to the standard menu shortcuts). When user clicks a button the toolbox control sends the message to its owner. Toolbox can be used as a child of any docking window. There is an ability to create toolbox commands and assign them an image list, as well as an ability to add new pages.
