I'm trying to find the System.Windows.Forms.StatusBar control in the ToolBox for a Visual Studio 2010 Windows Forms Project in Visual Basic. I cannot seem to see it. Is it somewhere in the "Common Controls" or "Containers" sections? I cannot see it. If someone can tell me what controls are to the top and bottom of it I would appreciate it.
Thanks
It's not there by default, because it's been replaced by the newer (and much nicer) StatusStrip control.
If you really need it, you can add it to any tab by right-clicking, then clicking Choose Items:

I am trying to learn Visual Basic with the guidance of some YouTube Tutorials. They have recommended the use of Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 as it has a built in compiler. I encountered a problem where my toolbox bar on the left of my screen is empty. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Just right click inside tools and click on "show all"
Your code may be running. Make sure to stop all processes and view the toolbox again.
On Visual Studio C++ 2012, it also happen sometimes. Try, to right click inside the Toolbox dialog and click on "Reset Toolbox" item. It should solve your problem.

What you need to do is to open your code in [Design] view. In this view you don't see the code as text, but rather as windows and buttons and so on.
Choose your favorite way to switch to the [Design] view :
A. View > Designer
B. Shift + F7
C. In the Solution Explorer window double click Form1.cs

How do I open a Visual Studio project in design view?
The title pretty much explains the whole question. I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Premium, I like the Navigate Backward command for when I right click on something and do go to definition and then I want to go back to where I was Navigate Backward works. But I'm so used to my mouse button button doing that, I've noticed I've starting using it in Visual Studio and expecting it to go back but it doesn't. I know how to change the command to a different key press, but is there a way to make it work on a mouse button?
This seems to be a (pointless) Limitation of the C++ IDE in Visual Studio. In C# the mouse buttons work as expected, but not in C++.
There are several Addins for Visual Studio to cover this functionality, I'll point you to the one that I found in this answer:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/57119/Forward-Backward-Code-Navigation-with-the-Mouse-Th
This Add-In worked for me. I could also upgrade it to Visual Studio 2012 by simply changing the Version-Tag in the Addin-file to "11.0".
I have created an asp.net project in visual studio 2010 ultimate edition.
I can't see Standard, Data etc toolbox tabs, I can only see Telerik and HTML controls.
I tried to reset the toolbox, tried to delete C:\Users\mypcuser\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\*.tbd.
I also tried devenv /ResetSkipPkgs but nothing worked for me.
Please suggest a Solution thanks!
This may help you.
In the Toolbox, select the tab where you want to add the control.
Right-click the Toolbox and select Choose Items from the shortcut menu.
The Choose Toolbox Items dialog box opens. The following illustration shows the Choose Toolbox Items dialog box.
Try to right click on the Toolbox and select "Reset Toolbox"
The common controls should appear in the Dialog Editor list along with all the MFC ones that I seem to be limited to when the problem happens.
I have this happen frequently. I don't know what causes it, but this fix always works and is fine for me since I didn't customize anything.
This will help you...
In Visual studio, go to view-toolbar-check standard and layout..
Then restart the visual studio and be sure on design page and check for toolbox..
Now the standard toolbox items will appear.. Thanks.
Just for the Future Viewer of this page
VS 2010 standard ToolBox cannot be viewed.
Mostly this is happen on a first run.
It solved the problem with Ctrl + Alt + X in your keyboard.
I'm used to using Visual Studio 6.0 to develop c++ APIs. I've downloaded and installed Visual c++ 2010 Express and now I find myself in a foreign land!
The first thing I did was make a hello blank windows app. That worked ok.
Next I thought I'd try looking at the "about" dialog but darned if I can find it. I also tried to create a new dialog but have no idea how to go about doing so.
So my questions are....
How do I look at the "about" dialog?
How do I add a new dialog?
I see there is a "add resource" if I right click the project directory but is grayed out.
Feeling like an idiot but thankful for any help....
From what I can determine, there is no resource editor in the c++ express product.
See Free resource editor for Windows .rc files?
Does anyone know if it is possible at all to filter the Toolbox's items in Visual Studio using an add-in?
Visual Studio 2010 introduced the ability to search but I want to filter, for example: type in button and it must show all items containing "button", same as on this on this Delphi XE screenshot:
This is a very good answer for this question. I copied from the VS blog:
In VS 2010 Beta2, we’ve added the ability to search for controls in the toolbox by name. To use it, put focus in the toolbox (by clicking in it, for example) and start typing the name of the control you want to find. As you type, the selection will move to the next item that matches what you've typed so far.

This is something not possible as microsoft does not reveal the secret of adding toolbox controls details completely. They make change the process for each platform and for each versions of visual studio. if we have a clear details of how they add, we can also do the similar kind of small application with search capability and add it as add-in.
Luckily Visual Studio 2012 now has that feature!
