Hello, guys! First of all, thanx to your replies to my post memory management, you really helped me a lot! But naturally, a programmer''s needs can never be satisfied , and therefor i have another question to you: How do i create a new component derived from TMainMenu which should hold some additional properties in a TMenuItem -entry? I know how to add properties to ... let''s say a button ..., but how does that work with this stuff ? Yours, Indeterminatus --si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses--
