Providing you already tried tinkering with:

• Tools > Options > Windows Forms Designer > General : AutoToolboxPopulate
• Tools > Options > Text Editor > XMAL > Misc : AutoToolboxPopulate
• created a default constructor
• build your project / reset the toolbox and add manually your tab

Yet you still see it greyed out..

Check your path length and check the charcters being used in your absolute path.

I had a project residing in "C:\Users\myName\myCompany\R&D\Projects"
And after few hours found out that the "R&D" is the problem..
The '&' did not allow my usercontrol items to be enabled in my toolbox.
