How do I get back the Navigate Backward toolbar button with dropdown menu in
VB.net 2005?

I found a vssetting file at
http://blogs.msdn.com/vbide/archive/2005/10/25/484480.aspx but it made other
changes, all I want it the navigate backward with dropdown menu back on my
toolbar.

Thanks

Hi Harold,

You can get that Navigate Backward button back via the following steps:

1. Click the right most button(a small button with a dropdown indicator) of
the Standard Toolbars(the first row toolbar)
2. In its dropdown menu, choose Add or Remove buttons/Standard.
2. In the 3rd level dropdown menu, find the "Navigate Backward" entry and
check it in the left column.

Thanks!

Best regards,

After selecting Add or Remove buttons/Standard I get a list of buttons all of
which are selected, and the Navigate Backward button is not there.

Keep in mind I have chosen VB development environment as my default.

Hi Harolds,

Sorry, I missed that.

In the case of VB development environment, you can add that Navigate
Backward button from the View toolbar, just open the Customize
dialog(Tools\Customizes...), and switch to the Commands tab, select the
View in the left categories list, then choose the Navigate Backward entry
in the right Commands list, finally drag and drop it to the VS2005 IDE's
toolbar.

Thanks!

I have already done that, but that does not give me the dropdown menu that
was there in VS 2003 or in the General Development Environment setting in VS
2005.

yes, I have also found this problem, that dropdown menu also exist in the
VS2005 Visual C++ Development Environment setting. I think this behavior is
by design. Currently there isn't a related option in VS2005 to invoke it in
Visual Basic Development Environment setting.

I suggest you can send a suggestion in our feedback center, our product
team will know what functionality you want in VS2005:

Thanks for your understanding!

I will do that, but in the mean time, someone knows the answer that could
help, if you take a look at
http://blogs.msdn.com/vbide/archive/2005/10/25/484480.aspx you will see that
it can be done, I would like to be able to modify my current settings to add
the Navigate backward with dropdown menu, I was hoping that someone here
could help me with that.

Thanks

Hi Harolds,

Thanks for sharing this workaround with us, I don't know our VB IDE team
has already provided a custom VS2005 .vssettings to resolve this problem,
that's really cool!

Have a nice weekend!
