The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

If you drag and drop a class from the Component Gallery to the Project Manager
it may not get added to the Project Manager automatically.

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.

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

  Q194295 HOWTO: Tell That Visual Studio 6.0 Service Packs Are Installed

MORE INFORMATION
================

Dragging and dropping a class from the Component Gallery to a project in the
"Add Class To Project dialog" and then selecting the "Create New Class from
Selected Class" option and storing the class to a new class library may cause
the class to not be added to the project. However, if you keep the default Store
In location, the class will be added to the Project Manager as expected.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Launch Component Gallery.

2. Create a new project.

3. In Component Gallery, expand the Foundation Classes folder and select the
  Buttons folder.

4. Drag and drop the Cancel button class to the Project Manager.

5. In the Add Class to Project dialog box, select "Create new class from
  selected class" option.

6. In the New Class dialog box, type in the Class name and change the Store In
  location to store the class to a class library different from the one
  displayed.

7. Click OK.

Note that the newly-created class does not show under the Class tab in Project
Manager. You might not be able to reproduce this problem at all times.
