.Net C++ dialog control

[mwong7025]

I am using VC++ in .Net, but I can get the control menu for adding controls such as edit or combobox. In VC++ 6.0, then is control menu for it. Am I missing something? How can I activate the control menu?

Using the menu command 'View -> Toolbox' or the 'Ctrl + Alt + X' shortcut keys...

I tried that, but my toolbox window has nothing in it. Installation problem?

OK, after I clicked "Show All Tabs", I see the Dialog Editor tab, but the controls in the tabs are disable (grayed out), why? How to enbale them?

They are being enabled automatically as soon as you open a resource (dialog etc.) in the editor...

My diglog is open, the controls are still disabled!?

Well...then I don't have much of an idea at the moment...can you zip your project (excluding the debug and relase folder) and post it here?

You need to open the dialog in the forms editor : not the source code.

If you're using VC++2002 you can't do this. It's only available in 2003 and 2005.
