When you install ComponentOne Studio for WinForms, the Create a ComponentOne Visual Studio 2008/2005 Toolbox Tab checkbox is checked, by default, in the installation wizard. When you open Visual Studio, you will notice a ComponentOne Studio for WinForms tab containing the ComponentOne controls has automatically been added to the Toolbox.
If you decide to uncheck the Create a ComponentOne Visual Studio 2008/2005 Toolbox Tab checkbox during installation, you can manually add ComponentOne controls to the Toolbox at a later time.
