Ken,

Thanks! That does the trick. I knew the 'dynamic folder' capability was in there, somewhere, and I was thinking that that was what I needed to implement, but I couldn't find where it was implemented - I didn't realize I need to have the advanced editing set on.

One reason I decided to start using the component gallery is because I really like the fact that the class names are displayed next to the icon, as opposed to the forms control toolbar where you need to rely exclusively on the icon, or drag the mouse over the icon to get the tool tip.

However, I find that dragging controls onto a form from the component gallery is a little cumbersome compared to dragging from the forms toolbar. Is there any way, currently, or planned, to create a toolbar of catalog items - e.g., when you click add, on the forms control toolbar, you could get a list of catalogs, and put the catalog items into the form controls toolbar, and, change the toolbar such that it included the class name right next to the icon?




>You can add the VCX file as an item in the Component Gallery as a folder item, then call the classes in that VCX will display automatically. Create a new folder, go into the Properties dialog for that folder and to the Node tab (advanced must be set on in the options dialog first), and then in the dynamic folder property, select the VCX file name. This will make the folder dynamic for the contents of the VCX class library. You can do the same thing with projects (PJXs), DBCs, and even HTM or HTTP/URL web pages.
