    Resolved [RESOLVED] Window Form App

    I am new to VB.NET, but I have experience on VBA (Excel-Based) Form Application development. Recently, I installed free community edition, but I could not find Window Form App under Visual Basic.

    Attached: Based on youtube screenshot, there should be Window Form App. The first screenshot is my Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition.

    Could anyone tell me how to add it to my Visual Studio?

    Thanks.

    VS2017 is a bit weird in that you don't get the whole thing all at once. To speed up installation and reduce the installation size, VS2017 allows you to get the pieces you want and add to it. You are missing the project templates for a Windows Desktop Application. I forget how to get them myself, but this link should help:

    Thanks much! I have finally installed Window Form Framework. Now there is another question: there are three tabs(Toolbox, Form, Properties), each of them takes whole screen, so I can only switch between them.

    How to manually change window size for each tab, so them all three tabs can be viewed in same screen?

    Thanks.

    You can move windows indside VS all over the place. Code pages can be moved out of VS to different monitors, if you so choose. I've certainly never heard of those three being full screen before, but I suppose it could happen. On my layout, the Toolbox docks on the left side, if it is even shown, while the properties is docked on the lower right below Solution Explorer. That's pretty much the default configuration, so I'm not sure how you managed to get them tabbed at full screen.
