Any way to add custom code activities to VS toolbox for any workflow project?

What I would like to achieve is to have 2 tabs with custom code activities added automatically to the toolbox every time a new activity is created in any (workflow) project. Ideally this should be done through some code or installer.
I found a solution using the Visual Studio Integration Package but that one is not suitable for me (as it needs the SDK).

I have also tried using the IActivityToolboxService interface but that worked only for creating the tabs in the toolbox. And I was able to create them only if I (already) had access in toolbox to my custom activities.

Any other ideas are highly appreciated.

I forgot to mention that I'm using VS2010. – Lirima Oct 23 '13 at 13:17

Are you referring to snippets or Components? – Skindeep2366 Nov 06 '13 at 14:43

Did you ever find a solution to this? – David Mar 20 '17 at 10:32
Are you trying to say that you want to convert a string into code? – Mohammed Julfikar Ali Mahbub Oct 25 '17 at 22:09
