in the picture，the toolbox is empty。
I entered it by hand
<Button Text="ok"/>
No code hints
How can I solve this problem?
This is working as expected. There is no visual designer for Xamarin.Forms. XAML must be written manually. You can however use the XAML previewer to assist you.
The Preview button can be displayed on the editor by right-clicking a
XAML file, and selecting Open With > XAML Viewer. The preview pane can
then be shown or hidden by pressing the Preview button in the
top-right corner of any XAML document window
Information about the previewer can be found here: https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/xamarin-forms/xaml/xaml-previewer/

I've just installed VS 2022 preview to use Maui but there seems no way to see a designer view of the XAML, I want to drag and drop controls onto the page but all I get is an ancient looking XAML text view.
Visual Studio has removed the XAML designer. For now, there is no official plan to readd it.
But Visual Studio support Hot Reload to modify your apps managed source code while the application is running, without the need to manually pause or hit a breakpoint. You could preview the view at runtime when you change the UI. For more details, please check the blog. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/introducing-net-hot-reload/
Like Cfun said, you could use live visual tree as well. It shows a tree view of the UI elements of your running Xamarin.Forms application. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/xaml/live-visual-tree
For a WPF dotnet6 project, the XAML designer can be enabled here:
Don't know why it's disabled by default.

In this document, a user can open designer by right-clicking the xaml file, and choose View Designer. But, there is no command in the tooltip. How can I activate the designer?
I use Blend for Visual Studio, Community 2019, version 16.9 preview 5, for WinUI 3.0.
As the support page for WinUI 3 points out, there is currently
No XAML Designer support
I want to import a program from the toolbox, but the toolbox on the right of Automation Studio is gone. I can't find it anywhere. How do I enable it?
I would say you are doing everything right and the Toolbox pane is there - I can see it (there is a small grey dot there).
You just need to drag the pane separator.
Try the right click on the project name and select "Add object.." the toolbox menu will be shown. 1

On past versions of Blend For Visual Studio, I used to edit Styles and Templates from Resource Dictionaries under the "Resource" tab, usually on right side of the screen.
On last updates off Visual Studio 2019, this tab disappeared. Had it been removed?
Thanks.
The Resources tab will appear only if you open App.xaml file.
Then you can open another xaml file and Resources tab will be there until you close all tabs.
It's either a bug or really weird behavior.
In Visual Studio 2008, when you add a new XAML window to a WPF Application Project, the default view you get is "split view" where the visual designer and the XAML code are shown one above the other in the same document.
I prefer an alternative view which you can get by double-clicking on either the Design or XAML tabs. The visual designer and the XAML are in separate side-by-side tabbed views. This makes it easy to switch between them
I want to know if it possible to make this the default view for all new XAML documents I add to my project, and where in the options you would set it.
Tools/Options/Text Editor/Xaml/Miscellaneous, check the "Always open documents in full XAML view"
