This is a single project. I have Form1.h which includes Toolbar.h.
Toolbar is just a public ref class that inherits
System::Windows::Forms::Panel and adds a few extra functions. What I'm
confused by is that I can run the program and everything works fine,
but trying to edit the form causes problems. One would think that if
you couldn't view it in the editor, you couldn't also view it at
runtime.
