System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

InfoBars provide non-blocking notifications in Visual Studio extensions, allowing users to act without leaving their current context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Non-blocking notifications via InfoBar across tool windows, document windows, and the main IDE window.
  • Guidance on when to use InfoBar vs message boxes, status bars, or logs.
  • Examples for showing InfoBars in a tool window (e.g., Solution Explorer), in a document window, and globally in the main window; and patterns for event handling and cleanup.

Quick Start

Create a simple InfoBar in your tool window using the toolkit wrapper (VS.InfoBar.CreateAsync) or the VSSDK/ToolWindowPane approaches, then display it to verify.
