>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?

There is nothing like this native in VFP 7.0, you'd have to create a custom toolbar or utility for doing this. You can access all data in the Component Gallery manually, try the code below:

DO (_gallery)
?_oBrowser.afolderlist(1).cText
?_oBrowser.afolderlist(3).cText
