I do a lot of Visual Studio work and find myself right clicking on a form expecting the Add View menu to popup
I just think damn it, and head over to the toolbox
So no points for guessing where I'd rather be

I'm confused....if you are in the B4A designer and right click in the layout area, it will pop-up a menu with "Add View..." at the top.

B4A is my passion, but I spend a lot of time coding Visual Basic .NET in visual studio

There is a solution: use B4J instead of VS

Well I have 2 neurons and 20 bytes of brain memory ? but I switched from VB Net to B4J.

Don't forget that SWs created with B4J can also run on Linux and MacOS.

I WAS using VS. Now I'm using B4J because it starts up in 2 secs, compiles in 5-10 secs and I integrate the "missing parts" via jShell + VBScript (like integrating Outlook).

Don't miss the new PowerShell integration: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/running-powershell-scripts.131116/#content
If you are targeting Windows then it is a great way to access native features not available otherwise.
