2. Under the key create a DWORD value of 0 named devenv.exe for VS or vwdexpress.exe if you are running VWD.

Thank you so much!  I was wondering what the heck was going on.

What's a "style builder "   ???

Select an element in either view, open Properties window, place caret in the Style field and you should see a small button ... - it invokes graphical style building tool. The tool is also available from intellisense when you type style= in Source view as well as from context menu in Design view.

Wow, I'm glad I found this as I was about to toss this dang thing out the window.

I think that the title of this post should be changed, if possible, to "How to make Style Builder work in VWD and VS when running IE7" (expand the acronyms as needed).

Thanks again!

The IE team has also fixed this problem in the Mix 06 build of IE7 which is available for download from http://www.microsoft.com/ie

I think my problem with the ... Style button quickly flash and then closes is related to this problem because I'm running IE 7. The version I'm running is 7.0.5335.5IC. So unless there is a newer version, IE team has not fixed this problem.

By the way, if I'm running Visual Studio .Net Pro 2005 version, what registry key do I have to modify? Is the same is above?

Under the FeatureControl, I do not see this key:
FEATURE_CSS_DATA_RESPECTS_XSS_ZONE_SETTING_KB912120
So what do I do?

You should create one :-)

Thanks! Works now.

Thanks! Works now.

Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly does this do??  Is it a tool in IE, in VWD?? Does it add a command, toolbar button??

It is VWD / VS tool to build CSS styles visually. You can access it via property window. Select an element, locate Style property, place caret in the value field and click small ... button.

Hi I don't want to seem like a know nothing but what is the advantage in having style builder opening ie7 it al ready opens in either vwd or visual studio. My guess is that it allows you to edit on the fly is this the reason.

Style builder uses installed IE to render preview of the style you are editing (that little preview window is an instance of IE). Beta1 of IE7 didn't work in the style builder dialog so style builder didn't show up in VS and VWD when IE7 replaced IE6.
