Hi there!!

I have created a simple Form which executes the following line in the
Create method:

  SetWindowLong(Handle, GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLong(Handle, GWL_STYLE)
AND NOT WS_CAPTION);

So it has no border. In fact, I have then created a skin with images
and different types of buttons, and even used a Region component so
that Form has strange shape... Now I whant to have a Menu.. I thought
that if I created the TMainMenu in the Create event of the form,
setting a TPanel as its Owner, then the MainMenu would be displayed in
the panel. This way, using a flat panel with some color that would
camuflate the panel, it would look like a normal MainMenu only places
"somewhere"...

Well, it does not work and my creativity reach to its end... someone
knows a solution?

Thank you!!
