Chris Parnel #1 / 5	Toolbox I seem to be having some trouble with this toolbox. Once I select a tool, the toolbox stays out and I cannot place my control on the form. Is there some way to move the form away from the toolbox or get the toolbox to hide? Thanks in advance. Chris

When you design a Win32 dialog, the toolbox automatically pops back when you drag a control off the toolbox. You might want to bug this as it's difficult to use as it is.

Bill McCarth #3 / 5	Toolbox Hi Chris, with the beta, you might be better off to dock the toolbox while you are using it. Just click on the drawing pin icon in the top right of the toolbox window to lock it into place., and click on it again to unlock it. When docked, your form's design window will move out of the way.

Dale Roberson (Microso #4 / 5	Toolbox Another option is to move your toolbox and server explorer to the right side of the window. This allows you to see your whole form while placing controls and it hides once the control is dropped, which allows you access to the solution explorer again.

Chris Parnel #5 / 5	Toolbox Thanks Folks, that's two excellent suggestions, dock the tool box or move the toolbox and server to the right side. OK I will try both out. Thanks for the ideas.
