-# Adding, Editing, or Deleting Controls
+# How To: Add, Edit, or Delete Controls
 
 Using the **Dialog** editor, you can add, resize, edit, and delete controls in dialog boxes. You can also edit the properties of a control, such as its ID, or whether it's initially visible at run time.
 
 The **Dialog Editor** tab appears in the [Toolbox window](/visualstudio/ide/reference/toolbox) when you're working in the **Dialog** editor. You can also customize the **Toolbox** window for easier use. For more information, see [Using the Toolbox](/visualstudio/ide/using-the-toolbox) and [Show or hide the Toolbox window](showing-or-hiding-the-dialog-editor-toolbar.md).
 
-You can use the shortcut menu in the **Dialog** editor to quickly add registered ActiveX controls to a dialog box, and you can add ActiveX controls to the **Toolbox** for quick access.

-## To add a control
+## Add Controls
 
 To add controls to your new dialog box, drag controls from the **Toolbox** to the dialog box you're creating. You can then move the controls around or change their size and shape.
 
 You can add custom controls to the dialog box by selecting the **Custom Control** icon in the **Toolbox** and dragging it to your dialog box. To add a **Syslink** control, add a custom control, then change the control's **Class** property to **Syslink**. This action will cause the properties to refresh and show the **Syslink** control properties. For information on the MFC wrapper class, see [CLinkCtrl](../mfc/reference/clinkctrl-class.md).
