Right now, in VS, all controls are always shown. I think MD does the correct filtering.

I think the list is hardcoded, so if some are missing, we probably need to know to add them.

You can add a custom control in the xml, and it will show up as a box in the designer that you can interact with. However, you cannot put it in the toolbox yet.

  * Are the controls filtered in anyway? For example, is there a way to
    only show controls that are suitable for Honeycomb and later? I see
    that there is a place where I select which standard look to give the
    controls in the designer (ICS, Honeycomb, Gingerbread, Froyo, ....).
    Can that be used in anyway to filter these controls somehow? I tried
    to change the Android version level settings in the project
    properties and the android manifest file, closed and reloaded the
    solution, and I found that the toolbox didn't change the controls
    inside of it.
  * I am guessing that the controls that are loaded are based on a
    defined set of controls somewhere. There are some that are missing.
    Is there anyway to add to the controls displayed in the toolbox? I
    did a right click on the toolbox and tried to "chose items" but did
    not see anything besides the standard .NET items. Is a way coming to
    add controls to the toolbox?
  * I haven't tried this, but what happens if I have a control that
    isn't listed in the toolbox that I use in a layout?
