2. Navigate to the Toolbox and locate the [FlexPivotPage](/componentone/api/win/online-flexpivot/dotnet-api/C1.Win.FlexPivot.10/C1.Win.FlexPivot.FlexPivotPage.html) icon.
3. Double-click or drag-and-drop the **FlexPivotPage** icon to add the control to the Form. The design view looks similar to the following image.
