Datasheet

Figure 1-52: The Toolbox window can display tools by name or icon.
You can customize the Toolbox by right-clicking on it and selecting one of the commands in the context
menu. The following list briefly describes these commands.
❑ List View — Toggles the current tab to display tools either as a list of names or a series of icons.
❑ Show All — Shows or hides less commonly used tool tabs such as XML Schema, Dialog Editor,
DataSet, Login, WebParts, Report Items, Device Controls, and many others.
❑ Choose Items — displays the dialog shown in Figure 1-53. Use the .NET Framework Components
tab to select .NET tools, and use the COM Components tab to select COM tools. Click the Browse
button to locate tools that are not in either list.
❑ Sort Items Alphabetically — Sorts the items within a Toolbox tab alphabetically.
❑ Reset Toolbox — Restores the Toolbox to a default configuration. This removes any items you
may have added by using the Choose Items command.
❑ Add Tab — Creates a new tab where you can place your favorite tools. You can drag tools from
one tab to another. Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging to add a copy of the tool to the new
tab without removing it from the old tab.
