[RESOLVED] Project -> Add User Control missing

[Al42]

For some strange reason, on this computer (XP Pro-Sp2/VB6-SP6) I lost the Add User Control from the Project menu and from the context menu in Project Explorer. Does anyone have any clue as to what I broke and how to fix it? (I could reinstall VB, but maybe there's a simpler fix?)

Is it not there at all or is it disabled?

View -> Toolbars -> Customize menu item.
On the Toolbars tab click the Reset button.

Hack, it's not in either menu at all.

Bruce, it's not on the menu bar, but on the menus, that it's missing.

In the Project menu, I have

Add Class Module
Add Property Page

In the Add context menu in the Project Explorer, under Add, I have
Class Module
Property Page

Add User Control (and User Control) should be between them. It just seems to have disappeared from wherever it comes. I have the standard references loaded, but I have no idea which file the menu items come from, or I could copy a file from a computer that's working.

Bruce, it's not on the menu bar, but on the menus, that it's missing.

It doesn't matter. The VB menu sometimes gets messed up and things disappear, especially if you have customized the menus or menu bars. One fix is to Reset the menu (but any customizations will be lost).

Any idea which file gets changed? So I can make a copy of it and change it back if that's not the fix?

It turns out that resetting the menus doesn't change the custom setup at all - MZ Tools is still there, all the icons I've added are in the toolbar, and the Add User Control item is back. Still haven't gotten it back in Project Explorer, but that's just a minor annoyance, so thanks, Bruce.
