You might get some ideas from the SelComponentPageButton which has been
added in recent Lazarus commits (1.1).

Yes, it is also mentioned in the commit message:

Thanks Howard, I'll investigate during the next maintenance session.
About the original question:
A toolbar is the standard and portable way for your button.
I don't know how to add it beside a main menu, but is it really needed?
For example the button for component page selection in Lazarus IDE is
beside a toolbar, not beside a main menu.
The program doesn't have a toolbar, and since the audience is IBM (and
other) mainframe types it's a fair bet that they like toolbars even less
than I do (I like having a menu dammit, I'm not into all this
self-service buffet stuff :-)
I've experimentally allowed the main form to accept dropped files, which
is OK except that controls mask them (i.e. I can detect a dropped file
over the menu or status bar, but not over e.g. a TMemo). Is there some
hidden component property to make components transparent to drop?
Lazarus/LCL 1.0, Linux gtk2.
