[DUG] TActionMainMenuBar

[Robert martin]

Hi

I have found the problem.  Apparently there is a bug (of many) in the 
component that shipped with D7 that means the WindowMenu property 
doesn't stream properly and therefore needs to be set a run time.  
However a new feature introduced in BDS2006 (or earlier) is that setting 
it at runtime only works if the design time property is set to something 
meaningless (a non existent menu option).  This bug is still very much 
present in D2007.

This has caused me very much grief !
