Adding existing items (Windows forms) into a project

Environment: XPPro SP2, VS.Net2003

When I add a .Net form using the wizard, I am able to use the form designer to edit the form.  However, when I add the files using "Add existing items", I won't able to use the form designer.  In the later case, the resx file does not appear under the header file of the form.  Is there a way to fix this

Thanks!

    Select the header file in the Solution Explorer, then from the Properties window, change the FileType from C++ Header File to C++ Form.  Now, you should be able to edit the form and the resx file should be generated.
