why can't i open the design page of this project - vb.net

I want to open the design page so that i can see what it looks like but i dont know how to help
enter image description here.
When i right click on the form.vb there is no view designer option and i dont want to look at the designer tab because there is no GUI on it
sorry for being bad i just couldnt find the answer anywhere else

In the Solution Explorer, the fourth button on the toolbar is a drop-down. Click it and select the item that is not currently checked. That should switch you from folder view to project view. You should then be able to open your form in the designer by double-clicking it.

How do i create my own right click menu on the desktop?

i have searched up and down the internet but cannot figure this out. So ive finally come here for the aid of some utter genius people.
I dont like the windows right click function as it has too many options. Some of the options like properties cannot be removed. So, i thought i could disable right click to remove the menu and create my own.
The problem i have is i cannot figure out for VS2010 how to right click on the desktop outside of the form/project and make a box pop up like the same behaviour as the built in one. I am ultimately wanting to be able to expand and add things but im falling at the first hurdle.
Can someone please tell me how to right click on the desktop and create a context menu popup where i can add my own items. i want it to behave the same as windows but i want it my own essentially. This way in the future i will be able to enable or disable my own functions i.e open/winrar/7zip / remove edit on the fly.
thanks

Remove/Disable the default menu of desktop is not a good idea at all
But you can add your own items as well using 3rd party apps
I made an app modifies the default menu ,it can append more items an sub items
I wrote it long time ago I do not remember if i still have the source code or not

Intellij quick documentation is displayed in a separate panel instead of a popup

When I click Option-Q on an identifier to display the Quick-Documentation Popup instead of it showing up in a small dialog directly above the identifier it is showing in a large separate panel to the left.
This is suboptimal because the content is not where I wanted to look for it and because the new panel overlays the entire right side of the editor panel (and its contents).
Is there a Preferences setting for getting this to be a popup again?
Aha! There's a configuration menu that can be accessed by Right clicking on the top bar of the tool window. The first option Open as Popup is the one I wanted:

How to implement a pop-up window when hovering on a URL link

I'm relatively new to Cocoa application. In my application (MacOS), I already mark the text if it contains image url link. What I'm trying doing now is that when the mouse hover (without clicking) on the link, the application will open an NSPanel (sorry, if it's inaccurate) and show the content of the image url. Also, the panel/window will be closed automatically when mouse move out of the text.
I've tried something such as "floating window/panel/quicklook", but the search result isn't close to what I want. Could anyone please give me some keywords so I can try to find the solution by myself? Thank you.

PDFtron close a tool when doing Frame.GoBack()

Im using PDFtron on a windows store app project.
I have a page with a back button and a pdf viewer where i can edit the pdfs.
When im editing a pdf i have a tool bar with options like the ones in the samples, but i have a issue when i choose a Free Text tool and start writing on the pdf, if i press the back button while the Free Text tool is active ( the cursor is bliking) the text i wrote appears in the screen on the next page i navigate to.
How can i solve this?
The TextBox in question is part of the PDFViewCtrlTools that are used to create annotations. It is shipped with the sample application and is fully open source.
The TextBox is inside a popup, positioned to align itself on top of the PDFViewCtrl in the position where you tapped.
This TextBox needs to be closed before you go back. It is quite easy to do so by calling ToolManager.CreateDefaultTool(). In general, I would recommend taking a look at the samples and see what they're doing when the user tries to navigate away from the page.
Everytime you navigate away from a page with PDFViewCtrl, the ToolManager should call CreateDefaultTool so that whatever current tool is active (in this case the FreeTextCreate tool) can close itself and clean up.

Best way to build Breadcrumb Menu in Visual Basic

I have a VB10 app that uses panels, one for menu, one for main screen and then i want to add one for a breadcrumb menu. I use user controls to display in pnlMain and would like the breadcrumb trail to add an link with user control info every time I add a screen to pnlmain...and remove the link when I click on the previous link.
I would like to build the links dynamically like they do here: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/17714/Create-a-Breadcrumb-Menu-in-VB-NET-WinForms,
but I couldnt get the links to display when I ran the solution.
and if I get the links to show, how do I associate the user control to that link?
Thank you for your help. The breadcrumb shouldnt go more than 3-4 levels deep
