Toolbox Tab in the Script Editor
When you are creating a form in the Script Editor's Design View tab, use the Script Editor's Toolbox tab, shown in the figure below, to import .NET Windows forms controls into your scripting forms. To add a control, click the control then drag it onto the form designer in the Design View tab. (You can choose from the 
Windows Forms or Favorites. To create a list of favorite controls that you use frequently, refer to Creating Toolbox Favorites, below.) To edit the controls’ properties, click the Script Editor's Properties tab. To modify the code for a component, go to the Script Editor's Code View tab. For an example of how to create a form, refer to Scripts that Use a Form or Dialog Box.
Toolbox Tab
Managing a List of .NET Windows Forms Components
You can manage both the Windows Forms or Favorites lists in the Script Editor's Toolbox tab. Clicking the Add/Remove Components button next to the drop-down list in the Toolbox opens the Components dialog box, shown in the figure below. Here, you can manage the controls in the Toolbox tab by removing or adding components, or by clicking the Default button to restore the list to the default that was installed with GENESIS64. You can view any of the Name, Namespace, and Assembly information for each of the currently available .NET Windows forms controls.
To add a component:
Click the Browse button, then navigate to and select the component. For example, navigate to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\System.Windows.Forms, and select the component you are looking for.
To remove a component from the .NET Controls Toolbox:
Highlight the component and click the Remove button. (Clicking the Default button restores the full set of components.)
