Using the Draw toolbar

In Visual Studio 6 there was a toolbar for drawing basic shapres and lines onto a form. This allowed for build structures to be constructed easily, whilst using the code to create any needed runtime objects. I now have Visual Studio .NET 2003 Profesional and have found a toolbar that has all the drawing features (called the Image Editor toolbar) but all the features are greyed out.

How can I either activate this or how else do you create such objects without coding?
 
Try adding an image file to your project. Once it's brought up in VS.NETs resource editor you might be able to use those drawing tools.

If you're trying to draw on a form like you could in VB6 -- I don't think you can under .NET.
