Starting with Visual Studio 2015, the extension SDK supports displaying the information panel on top of the document window: see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt300796.aspx#BKMK_Infobars . Unfortunately, this feature is not available for VS2010. Since our extension also needs to support older versions of Visual Studio starting with Visual Studio 2010, is there another possible solution for displaying a dashboard on top of a document window?
I tried to use fields to dynamically show the dashboard. But it does not work well. Visual Studio doesn't seem to like that I resize the field when I show / hide the element in the infobar field.
