//IDesignForm designForm = designTool.DesignForm;
IDesignForm designForm = designTool.DesignRibbonForm;
// Handle the Design Panel's Loaded event.
designForm.DesignMdiController.DesignPanelLoaded += DesignMdiController_DesignPanelLoaded;
// Load a Report Designer in a dialog window.
// designTool.ShowDesignerDialog();
designTool.ShowRibbonDesignerDialog();
}
void DesignMdiController_DesignPanelLoaded(object sender, DesignerLoadedEventArgs e) {

IToolboxService toolboxService =
(IToolboxService)e.DesignerHost.GetService(typeof(IToolboxService));
// Access the collection of toolbox items.

foreach (ToolboxItem item in toolboxItems) {
item.DisplayName = "Custom " + item.DisplayName;
