Docking

How does one go about creating dockable menus like the one in the Delphi 4 IDE using components shipped with Delphi 4?

Hi BoRiS,

The menu does not act completely like D4.

Once a menu is dropped down (say the File menu), moving the mouse over the Edit menu does not open the Edit menu and close the File menu.

Also when the file menu is open, pressing the right cursor key does not open the Edit menu.

Maybe these two issues require minor tweaks so I'll accept your answer if you add a comment with a workaround, otherwise I'll reopen the question.

Cheers,
Phil.

Sorry I should have included this in the explanation, all you need to do is set the grouped property to true on all the buttons, this way they act exactly as a main menu...

What the grouped property does is allow only 1 button at a time to be selected...

Thanks BoRiS.
