You can implement menus also differently, without using main menu.
Dropdown menus from speedbuttons look almost like a main menu, but
allow freely design your layout.
True, I've done that on Delphi so that I could do things like having the
menu in only one pane of a multi-pane window (seemed like a good idea at
the time).
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.
I don't know. Maybe you must allow dropping for each control and
forward it to the form.
:-/ Anybody?
