Is your question, how to get a main menu on your own application/form?

It's the first component on the first ("standard") tab of components. DoubleClick and start adding the menus and menu-items you like...

If that's not your question, then please rephrase...

See picture, drop one of those on your form.

Then doubleclick it, a new window ("Menu editor") will open.

There will be one item, which is the first menu (e.g. could be the "file" menu). Select it in the object-inspector to rename the caption, or change properties.

in the menu-editor, use "insert new item (..)" to add further menues.

Use "Create sub menu" to add items inside the menu, and the use "insert new item (..)" BUT on the item-inside-the-menu, to add further items....

You first need to put it on the form (like a button). Select (click) it, then click anywhere in your form (does not have to be the top).

Now the same icon is displayed on your form. Double-click it there.

The menu editor appears.
The top line of items ("boxes") are the menues that will be visible on top of your window.

One of them is already there. Right click it (context menu). Select "insert new item (after)" => a second item appears.

---
To create items that will drop down, when the menu opens (e.g "open", "close", ... inside a "file" menu):
FIRST use the context menu "Create sub menu"
THEN for more items use "insert new item (after)" again (but while you right click the item you created as "sub menu".

Look at the window called "object inspector". You can select each item there. The display-name is "caption".
Lot's of other properties that you can play with too.

Hey, ho! Be easy! I work with the materials you give me.

BTW, may be a good idea you read some tutorials.
