A colleague gave me a project where there was a /designer/ window

find out how to get a /designer/ window in my own project.
Shift-F7 does not work. What do I have to do in order to get a
/designer/ window?
Thanks

I appreciate your answers, but since I was confused, I asked
the wrong question. What I actually meant was the /Component Designer/.
I give an answer here, in the hope it might be useful for
groups.goolge-surfers in the future. Thanks all the same, now
let me be a good usenet citizen:
In order to create and configure a component with the component
designer:
- right-click on your project in the solution explorer to get
the solutions explorer.
- In this menu, there is a menu item "Add >". Select "Add >"
to get the "Add >" sub-menu.
- Select "new item" to get the dialog that lets you pick
an item to add.
- Select "Component Class"
A component designer window will show up to which you can add
items from the toolbox. Your configuration will be reflected in
automatically generated source code for your component.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Component Designer
View Designer
Add Item
Good luck
