I can't see elements in toolbox

[juanm4]

Hi, It's probably that I don't know how do it...but, how Can I show the objects (for example "IconButton") in the toolbox of visual studio?

I have realized that I can put an IconButton making a copy-paste from the project sample, but I don't see IconButton in toolbox.

Thanks in advance!

Ah, common problem with WinForms. Check out the FAQ section in the README

You would have to scroll waaay down, 😉

Let me know if that helped

First of all, thanks for your response, but I haven't found the controls in toolbox. I have tried to find and add the controls (Toolbox -> right click -> Choose Items -> Browse) but I can't find the controls in any of four tab appeared.

Some tips?

Thanks!

Not really any more tips than disccussed in the referenced links, i.e.

1. Create a new Windows Forms App
2. Add FontAwesome.Sharp as a Nuget dependency: Install-Package FontAwesome.Sharp (as of now should be 4.7.1)
3. In the Toolbox:
   • Add a tab FontAwesome (optional) or select a tab where you want the items to appear
   • Next, add items to the tab, i.e. Choose Items -> Browse, then select $(SolutionDir)./packages\FontAwesome.Sharp.4.7.1\lib\net40\FontAwesome.Sharp.dll
   • You should then see at least 2 new items selected
   • Click Ok.

You should now see controls in the selected toolbox tab, like

Let me know, if that helps.

Perfect! It work like a charm. I don't know why, but before I tried it in the same way and visual studio show an error when I tried to add the .dll.

After restart so and reopen visual studio I followed your steps carefully and it worked!!!

Thanks for all!
