Have a menu in any form When I was working on the expert for TMultiLang, I needed to display a menu in the expert's "main" form. Now this form was created with TForm1.Create() and therefore not an application's main window. This means: Although the menu is displayed in design mode properly, at runtime it will not appear. Even manually assigning the menu with   Menu := MainMenu    will not help. Workaround: Use the API function SetMenu in the FormCreate handler as shown below: procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); var h : integer; begin h := ClientHeight; SetMenu (Handle, MainMenu1.Handle); ClientHeight := h; end;
