Hi!

I do exactly the following:
1) Create new application
2) Put a TMainMenu component on the main form (MainMenu1 on Form1)
3) Create 2 items in the menu: "Create" (for creating child forms) and
"Window"
4) Set Form1 properties: FormStyle=fsMDIForm and WindowMenu=Window1
5) Create new form (Form2)
6) Set its FormStyle to fsMDIChild
7) Remove it from the project's "auto-create forms" list
8) Write an event for "Create" menu item as follows: TForm2.Create(Self)
9) Run app
10) Create several instances of Form2

As I understand, the Window menu must get populated with new items, each
corresponding to an instance of TForm2. But it doesn't! Nothing happens at
all.
What did I do wrong?

Thanks,
Alexander

You did not tell us which Delphi version you are using <G>.

This is a D5 problem, the new AutoHotkeys and AutoLinereduction properties
for the menu collide with the MDI systems menu handling. Set both properties
to manual.

Thank you, Peter

I'm using Delphi 5, and due to your advise I resolved the problem

Alexander.

Hi Alexander,

this happens when you set the AutoHotkeys-Property of the main menu
containing the window menu to True. The workaround is quite simple: In the
window menu add the menu hotkeys manually (adding the "&" to a different
character in each menu items caption) .

Then it will work fine :-)

Best regards
