This is a follow up question for this question:

VS2012 return to a normal TFS checkin window?

I've used the solution of creating a new command which was added to the Tools menu, but using this option opens the Pending Changes window as a new process which is closed when I'm done using it. Is there a way to leave it open permanently like you could in 2010 (where it was simply docked at the bottom of the screen near the Output, Errors etc.) ?

    I believe this link is the announcement of the NEW pending changes window with the ability to dock it rather than just view it in the team server window. However, I want the old one docked, the same one as is opened with your solution from the previous question. – CodeMonkey Aug 20 '14 at 10:22

No, you can't.

All External tools run as separate process. for process that use command line you can tick "Use output window", but since tf.exe checkin actually opens another window - you won't be able to dock it into Visual Studio as far as I know.

You may consider using TeamPilgrim for VS2013 which I've forked from TeamPilgrim for VS2012.

Notice:

  1. I forked it since original author (Stanley Goldman) have stopped the development.
  2. It's still in alpha state.

There is a "pending changes" filter on the Visual Studio 2012 Solution explorer. While I'd rather have a separate window, this is much better than adding a separate command.
