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 that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

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

For more information about Visual Studio service packs, please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

194295 HOWTO: Tell That Visual Studio 6.0 Service Packs Are Installed



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Start the Component Gallery.
 * 2) Select the ActiveX Catalog, select the Controls folder, and then select the Installed Controls folder.
 * 3) Select the Visual FoxPro Catalog.
 * 4) Drag the Visual FoxPro Catalog and drop it on the Installed Controls folder. Note that a copy of the Visual FoxPro Catalog is erroneously added to the Installed Controls folder.
