   Dim Frame As Window
   Dim w1 As Window = _
   DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindSolutionExplorer)
   Dim w2 As Window = DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindOutput)

   ' Create a linked window frame and dock Solution Explorer 
   ' and the Ouput window together inside it.
   Frame = DTE.Windows.CreateLinkedWindowFrame(w1, w2, _
   vsLinkedWindowType.vsLinkedWindowTypeDocked)
   MsgBox("Total number of windows in the linked window frame: " & _
   Frame.LinkedWindows.Count)

   ' View some window properties.
