Visual Studio toolbox items unavailable

Question

I cannot access any items in my Visual Studio Toolbox, they all appear in dark grey indicating I cannot select them. I cannot even set up a button and am unsure what I need to do to get the toolbox items available again.

Screenshot of the toolbox issue, notice how all the options are in dark grey and cannot be selected:

aren't they being shown when you're on the designer view of a form? — Shahbaz, Aug 23 '17 at 12:36
Probably your project is RUNNING. STOP the project then your toolbar items will become enable. — Musab, Aug 23 '17 at 12:36

You must open design page of your winform/WPF.
