Add options page to existing Treeview node in Tools/Options

[RobertvanderHulst]

I would like to add an options page to an existing Treeview node in Tools/Options.
In our case, I would like to add Debugging/X# Debugger
I think have specified the right names, but our entry appears as a separate entry:

Does anybody know how we can have our page appear under the main Debugging tree?

I think the reason it's not appearing under the "Debugging" node is because the node's identity and the actual text displayed is different. The node's identity is "Debugger", whereas the displayed text is coming from a resource file with the value "Debugging".

Here's how I discovered this:

1. Get the Settings Store Explorer extension if you don't already have it.
2. Open its tool window (View -> Other Windows -> Settings Store Explorer)
3. Expand Config/ToolsOptionsPages

You'll see that there's a Debugger node with General, HotReload, JIT, etc as children.

So if you define your options page with a categoryName of "Debugger", then it should appear in the correct place.

[ProvideOptionPage(typeof(MyOptionsPage), "Debugger", "X# Debugger", 0, 0, true)]

Dave, that is brilliant. Thanks for the tip.
Next time I will look there first!
