Title: MSVC6 Dialog Editor
Post by: brew on December 16, 2007, 07:02 PM
If you (on accident) "X out" the control palate in the MSVC6 Dialog Editor, how do you get it back? I haven't been able to find anything. It appears to be unaccessable from within the GUI. I've tried deleting the project's associated .ncb file as well. It seems to be a registry based setting, but i am unable to find where it is. Can anyone help?

Where is that? I can't find it.

ah nevermind. Upon closer inspection of the resource files of MSDEV.exe i've found the string "Control" as the text of a check listbox item inside of a dialog box titled "Customize". The menu item Tools -> Customize... will open a dialog titled customize, with a listbox with the label "Toolbars:" above it with a list of the toolbars. Thanks anyways.
Now to find out how I would make a Dialog Tab control...
And how to make combo boxes the height they need to be in order to view the dropdown listbox without having to call MoveWindow on runtime.

Once you close the dialog editor its gone. Just to test open a new source file then type some gibberish or something in it then close it, it will ask you if you would like to save it.
