Hello all,

I'm working with VS2005, Beta 2, on an XP Pro system.
Very simply: when I start a windows form project in C# and try to
navigate to the Toolbox, I cannot. There is no Toolbox in the View
menu. Same for Visual C++ - there's no Toolbox in the View menu.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

You have to have a designer in focus in the Source editor window.

Thanks. But I do have a designer in focus in the Source editor window.
For example, I created a new C# Windows app. I have the blank form in
the Source editor window. I look in the View menu but there is no
Toolbox listed, not even greyed-out.

I wonder if the menus have been accidentally customized? Anyway, what
happens if you press CTRL+ALT+X?

Thanks, CTRL+ALT+X did the trick.
I don't think I accidentally customized the menus - this is a fresh
install of Beta2.

Thanks again.

Ah, the joys of beta software, eh? ;-)
