I am trying to create a menu bar using Lazarus. I drop the TMainMenu icon onto the form. Then I modify the Items in the Object Inspector and can get the first menu item, but that is all. I can't enter more menu headings or submenu items. I checked a Delphi reference and saw a similar mechanism, but it provides little dashed boxes to lay out the whole menu structure. The corresponding structure in Lazarus seems inert.
The trick is to right-click, then you get a menu, choose "insert item after" or something alike.
I then tried bypassing the IDE and duplicated the code on the form, changing the menu items to item1, item2, item3, etc. There must be other necessary code hidden somewhere else because this attempt failed to compile.
Did you create menuitems on the fly with Item1 := TMenuItem.Create and setting the relevant properties ? This should also work, but try first with the designer, I'd say.
Is this one of the things that doesn't work in Lazarus? Am I doing something wrong? Any suggstions? Is there a Lazarus-specific forum to discuss questions like this?
