The Control Toolbox is a tool window that accompanies the WebForm Designer. By default it is docked to the left of the GenWise Studio IDE. The Control Toolbox is used to add controls to pages in the WebForm Designer by dragging them from the Control Toolbox to the designer surface.
The toolbox contains different types of controls:
 | GenWise Control Templates (see also: Template Types). |
| ASP.NET 2.0 Web Server Controls (System.Web.UI.WebControls namespace of the .NET Framework 2.0). |
| Web Server Controls provided by GenWise. |
| ASP.NET 2.0 Web User Controls that are part of the project being developed. |
| 3rd party Web Server Controls (see also: Products used by GenWise). |
You may add your own, or other 3rd party Web Server Controls to the Control Toolbox by adding them as project references, read: Managing assembly references.
Finding controls
The controls in the toolbox are grouped. Groups are activated by clicking their headers. The controls of the active group are listed in the toolbox. The inactive groups only display their headers.
Groups may contain a large number of controls. Use the arrow buttons to scroll through the list, or use the mouse wheel.
Adding a control
| 1. | Go to the Control Toolbox window. |

| 3. | Drag it to the surface of the WebForm Designer. |
