I want to add a reference to Visio Viewer 2010 to my toolbox so I can add it to a Windows Form I am developing (not a web form). I went thru both the .NET and COM references to select the option, but it does not seem to be listed anywhere.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to use the Visio Viewer 2007 in a WinForm application.I've tried the sample in this article: [URL] I get the message "Windowless ActiveX not supported".I have an application using Visio Control but for this to work I have to install Visio on the machine.I would like the application to run without Visio installed, thatMs why I'm looking at the Viewer.

I am trying to create a visio flow chart with visual basic 2005 but I keep running into the same problem. I have added a reference to the Microsoft Visio type Library, but when I try to Declare a variable as a Visio.Application of Visio.Document I get an error "Visio.Application not defined" It seems as if adding the COM reference to the Visio Type Library has no effect. Is there some setup that I am missing?

I'm having trouble adding a new control to my toolbox.I downloaded the projected and extracted.I the went to the VB toolbox, rightclicked the mouse button and selected choose items. I then clicked the browse button. I selected the folder I had extracted to and then went to bin/debug/menucontroltest.exe.
View 2 RepliesI know you can add a control or collection of controls to the VB IDE toolbox by adding a dll file to it.Is there an example of how to create a tool somewhere. I would like to be able to design a skin and add it as a toolbox item.

View 5 RepliesI can't seem to figure this out. I basically am trying to write a class, not a usercontrol, that can show up in the ToolBox. I want it to act similar to how a ContextMenuStrip or BindingSource does, in that there is no UI when you throw in on the Form, it goes down to that bottom part (name?).
1) What do you call those types of components?
2) Why won't this test class that I wrote do the same thing?
vb.net Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
<ClassInterfaceAttribute(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDispatch), ComVisibleAttribute(True), _
System.ComponentModel.ToolboxItemAttribute(True), System.ComponentModel.DesignTimeVisible(True)> _
Public Class FilterMenuStrip

If I try to add it to the ToolBox, I get a "There are no components in '<The DLL>' that can be placed on the toolbox."
I created some custom controls which I use quite often and I thought if I add them once to my ToolBox they just will be there next time I start up VS2008; however, that does not seem to be the case! Each time I start VS2008 I have to re-add that controls (which is quite annoying!). Is there a trick / way of having them there permanently?

View 1 RepliesThis illustration shows how I'm trying to get 2 vb.net user controls into the toolbox to use on a c# form. In toolbox Select Items I see the items checked but clicking OK or Reset doesn't make them appear in the toolbox. How do I do that? somehow the controls appeared in the Toolbox, but they're greyed out and unavailable.
View 3 RepliesThe particular control I'm trying to figure out is a UserControl. When I design it as a separate DLL, add it to the Toolbox, then drag it onto the form, it shows up. But when I declare the instance in Form_Load & add it to the Forms Controls, it doesn't show up. (Note that I'm dealing with two different UserControls here as what I don't really want to do is create it as a DLL. It's specific to this project & that's where I want it-in this project. I suppose I could create it as a separate project in this solution, but again-that's not what I want to do. I can add a UserControl to this project, but I can't seem to *use* it. Frustrating.)
Dim X As New Class3
X.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(96, 74)
X.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(5, 5)
Me.Controls.Add(X)
Me.Refresh()
Class3 inherits System.Windows.forms.UserControl, and contains a label.OK, found that I can make the UserControl appear by setting the BackColor (X.BackColor=). Doesn't seem like I should need to do that as it's set in Class3, but apparently when I add it to the form it picks up the form's backcolor-which might be the way UserControls work.
But, it still doesn't show the label that's on the UserControl-just a block of color where I placed the UserControl.And now, I might have solved this problem only to raise another. I finally noticed that although Class3 had an InitializeComponent sub it lacked a Sub New-so it never called the InitializeComponent sub.
I added a Sub New that does nothing except call InitializeComponent & now I'm getting the whole thing. I guess now the question is why the Sub New is required for Class3 but not for the DLL? (Or maybe it was created automatically for the DLL but not for Class3? I'll check the hidden code in the DLL project to see if it was created or not.)
i want to write a code that user can drag and drop an icon to layout which this layout become consist of coordinate (x,y) and when icon was dropped to layout by right click appear a menu.

I have a solution with about 5 projects, the main (startup) project is a windows forms project while the others are control libraries that contain some custom controls. The main winforms project however also contains some custom controls.
Recently, the controls in the main winforms project have stopped appearing in my toolbox. The controls from the other control library projects appear just fine, but none of the controls in my main project will show...
Some of the projects are VB, some are C#.
I have tried everything I know to fix it:Delete bin/debug folders and restart
Build, build, build, build, and build Target the same .NET Framework version and CPU platform in all projects Build again Nothing works...
All projects target .NET Framework 4.0 and compile for the x86 platform (since I am using Access db). All projects build successfully, no errors. I can run the solution just fine. I can even declare and add the controls in code and they work just fine. They just don't show up in the toolbox so I can't drag them to my form and I have to dig into the designer code everytime, which is really annoying!
I have created an crystal report to display the table details, and the report is complete.I could not find the crystal report viewer in the toolbox.Even though I tried adding the component but could not add it. view the crystal report in visual studio 2010.

I'm trying to add a custom panel to my toolbox using a dll file, but when I add it as a reference it only appears as greyed out - and this is only after I click "Show All" in the toolbox.Everything builds fine in the Class Library project I used to create the custom control. Here is the simple
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Public Class pnDoubleBuffered
Inherits Windows.Forms.Panel
Public Sub New()
[code]....
I build the project, open my main project where I want to use the control. Then I click "Choose All" from the toolbox and add the reference using ".NET Frameworks Components". I find my dll file and click OK. Then nothing is added to the toolbox. I manage to see the control greyed out when I click the "Show All" option.
In vs 2008 when opening a Report (rdlc) there was an option for Report Data Sources. I don't see this in vs 2010. How can I find it in 2010?
