FIX: Can Drag Folder in Installed Controls in Component Gallery

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

The Installed Controls folder in the Component Gallery is designed to display the ActiveX controls that are currently installed on the system. The contents of this folder are determined by querying the system registry for installed ActiveX controls. Due to the nature of this folder, the user should not be allowed to manually add items to it. However, it is possible to add non-ActiveX control items to this folder using drag-and-drop.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3.
