I have a form that has many (~8) panels that cover the entire form. Think of it like eight tab pages, but without a tab control. On each panel there are many controls. I don't know the exact number of controls. The problem is, I need to add something to my main menu, but I can see it. I also can't see/edit any of my context menus.

Is it possible that I have exceeded the number of controls on one form that the VB 2003 IDE can handle, and it is crapping out on the menus?

The only work around I have found it to select every control, delete it (now my main menu appears again), then undo the changes, which puts everything back where it was only now I can see my main menu. I guess it just crams everything through again and, this time, everything is happening correctly. However, I am having serious problems with the undo part now (major performance hit, in that, it freezes) and I think it may be because the number of controls has (probably) increased again. I have somewhere around 2G of ram. I suppose I could go into the designer code and do it manually, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that. Anyone ever had a problem like this? Anyone know a solution?
