To be loaded every time VS starts.
Also, it would be nice to be able to load an entire tab inside toolbox, with more than 1 custom controls in it.
Thank you.

See: 7 Easy Steps to Add Custom Controls to Visual Studio Toolbox | Syncfusion Blogs[^]
It might be needed to add the custom controls to the GAC, see: https://blog.lextudio.com/how-to-install-custom-controls-to-visual-studio-part-i-39fa7733bb3[^]

Thats it then.
I had to move the custom control inside a new tab i made, and tested by opening several times VS and the new tab + my custom control was opening every time.
Thank you.
