    Private toolboxControl = New ToolboxControl()

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        Dim formDesigner = New FormDesignerControl()
        formDesigner.AutoSaveToSource = False
        formDesigner.Dock = Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Left
        formDesigner.Parent = Me

        toolboxControl.Parent = Me
        toolboxControl.Dock = Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill
        toolboxControl.FormDesignerControl = formDesigner
        AddHandler toolboxControl.PlaceItemAtDefaultLocation, AddressOf ToolboxControl_PlaceItemAtDefaultLocation
    End Sub

    Private Sub ToolboxControl_PlaceItemAtDefaultLocation(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As PlaceToolboxItemAtDefaultLocationEventArgs)
        MessageBox.Show("Place toolbox item at default location: " & toolboxControl.SelectedTool.DisplayName.ToString())
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

The SelectedTool is a read-only property, it's changed when a user selects an item on the toolbox.
