>>Not immediately. But you can make a form builder that (between other features), let you drop a form, and execute any post-drop event given the class you choose.

Yes, I understood. I tried to do this, also. What I finally ended doing was to add more code to this classes and more documentation in the properties to avoid the need of using a builder, but I know that this is not always possible.
That's why I though about a form builder to handle the insertion of that kind of classes. Perhaps is easier to get accustomed to always use such a builder (instead of going to the toolbar, switch class libraries, select and drop the one you need, then restoring the toolbar) to drop SOME kind of classes.
Just an idea. I didn't really implemented it.
If you find a more elegant approach (it should have one), please let me know.
Good luck.
