Hi Folks:

Developing on Win XP Home, VS 2008 Pro, C++, WIN32, no MFC.

You know how, when debugging, the toolbar to align the
controls in a dialog is absent, and then pop into view when
you stop debugging and select a dialog to look at from the
Resource Editor?

The toolbox I'm talking about has, among other things,
buttons to set selected controls to the same size, align
them and perform similar tasks.

Today, I'm not seeing that toolbar on a project I've been
working on for a long time.

Any idea how I get this toolbar back?

Thanks
Larry

Larry:

Tools->Customize->Toolbars tab

Check the Layout toolbar.
