The View menu, which displays toolbars and windows within the IDE, is similar to the View menu in Visual Basic 6.0. However, support for viewing debugging windows has been removed because the debugger for Windows CE runs as a separate application; it is not part of the IDE.
The following table shows the View menu commands contained in the toolkit.
