Its children are objects of Menu class, each of them describes exactly one menu.

A Menustrip object doesn't feature many options itself, but as a subclass of Family class, it simply acts as father for multiple Menu objects.

The Menustrip object is usually specified as a child of either Application class or window class with the attributes MUIApp.MenuStrip or Window.MenuStrip.

Example:

MainMenu := TMUIMenuStrip.Create;

// MUIApp.MenuStrip := MainMenu; // alternative on the application, activate only one!
Window.Menustrip := MainMenu;

Men := TMUIMenu.Create;
with Men do
begin
  Title := 'Test Menu';   // Name of Menu (thats the one in the ScreenBar)
  Parent := MainMenu;     // attach to the Menustrip
end;

With TMUIMenuItem.Create do
begin
  Title := 'Config';         // Text on the menu item
  Parent := Men;             // attach to the Menu
  OnTrigger := @ConfigStart; // Event to call when selected
end;

with TMUIMenuItem.Create do
begin
  Title := 'Quit';
  Parent := Men;
  OnTrigger := @QuitMe;
end;
