VS2019 - missing dialog editor?
-
I just spent an hour screwing around with a simple dialog project. I worked on it yesterday, but today there is no dialog editor listed in the ToolBox. After an hour, and looking at other projects, I said, "elephant this." Closed the project and reopened - now it's there. wtf. Anyone else seen this and maybe knows how to fix it (other than recycling the project)? I want my hour back.

I've seen this or something similar before - I believe it was because I had the .rc file open in an editor window.

Did you try to open this dialog from the Resource View?

That may have been it - I'll have to try it when I get back to the other machine. Usually my experience has been that the graphical dialog editor closes when I want to open the source of the resource file.

yes. The dialog was up in the graphical editor. Prior post may have hit on something... will have to try it later.

I tried a few times by opening the resource file, etc. But each time I go back to the graphical dialog editor, it displays correctly. Things that make you go hmm.
