Unable to select control in Designer of VS 2008

I'm unable to select controls in window form in VS 2008, whenever开发者_开发技巧 i try to select any control, the window will be selected instead. It's as though they're read-only.

Does anyone know how to solve the problem?

*I'm using DiveElement sanddock in the form, will it be the cause of the abnormality?

Thanks.

Can you use the list of controls in the properties window to select the control?

I had the same issue. Although I couldn't figure out why, I was able to reset the form by right clicking and "Exclude from Project" followed by Project -> Add existing item and adding back the form. Then it worked like it should. Just wanted to share.
