I have vc++ on two computers, one in my room, and on the one here. Any way, on the computer in my room, when I add a resource like an about screen, a little tool bar with buttons like add text, a button, or an icon and stuff comes up for you to edit the text box. but on this computer that little tool bar is nowhere to be found. Is there something I have to do to enable this?

Select resources from the popup menu that appears when you right click on the tool bar. And I think that's it. :)

yeh, both must have different prefs right now, so check all the tool bars on both meaning if one is missing on one, add it to the other

isnt that illegal? or is it from 2 different copys of vc++? well if it isnt dont worry i wont tell anyone ;) for the price you pay they should kiss you goodnight too.

I have one that I bought like a day before I got one as a gift, so it worked out pretty well :)

thats not the right one im looking for, this window has things like Add a button,image, or text to the dialog box.

I found it, it was Controls
