In the IDE I have the ToolBox and DataSources Tabbed/Docked on the left
so that they fly out when you hover over the tab.  Sometimes they don't
want to go back in.  Is there a trick to make them retract.  Problem is
most prononuced in the design mode.  Clicking on the form or sourcecode
doesn't work.

thanks,

Hi Chuck,

How about use the shortcut key to invoke them back:

Toolbox:                      Ctrl+Alt+X
Show Data Source:  Shift+Alt+D

Thanks!

Any way to fix it; I'll never remember the short cuts.

Hi Chuck,

I am afraid the problem in your machine appears to be machine-specific, we
cannot repro it in our side. If you cannot remember the shortcut keys, I
suggest you can also use the corresponding menu commands---the Toolbox in
the View menu and Show Data Source in the Data menu.

Thanks for your understanding!

Best regards,

It happens on my work and home machine; so unlikely that a reinstall
will fix it.  I guess it's a beature.
I just wish there was a simple trick like editing the text, triple
clicking, scrolling the page, pressing ALT, or something.

Hi Chuck,

Another workaround is to disable auto-hide behavior of the Toolbox and Data
source toolwindow, just pin them in your VS2005 IDE, by clicking the nail
button in the top-right of those toolwindows.

Thanks!
