Hi all,
I just started my first VB Express Windows application.
(1) My toolbox is empty. I clicked on the "View" menu =>Toolbox and I got the following: Toolbox |-| General There are no usable controls in this group. Drag an item onto this text to add it to the toolbox. Where are the controls How can I drag them onto the ToolBox
(2) After the ToolBox is filled with the controls, I like to know how to make the ToolBox as Thumbta button on the left side or the bottom of the screen when I do not use it.
Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang
Toolbox: (1)How to bring in all the controls? (2) How to make it as thumbtack button

When you are in design mode, Select View | Toolbox and move the toolbox to the left if you need to. Then, at the upper right hand corner, depress the thumb tack for autohide. I think this is the mode you want.

I have the same problem.. I cannot see any of the toolbox controls. I am in design view. If I click on view toolbox I get..
There are no usable controls.. blah blah.
If I go to Tools/Choose Toolbox Items, a dialog box appears with .NET framework components..
It does not allow me to drag any of these controls to the toolbox.
How do I see the toolbox components
Thanks.

Can you explain what you mean by "never get the toolbox back" What did you try to do, and what was the result (Example: "I clicked on View -> Toolbox, and the toolbox window appears, but there are no controls in it.")
Thanks,
