Issues I have discovered whilst coding.

 
This is just a page of things that have stumped me for a while so when I discover the solution or at least what it's about I add it here.  It's for my records and in the hope that it may sometimes be of use to others perhaps searching the internet for solutions.  Primarily I am developing Delphi 6 apps on a Windows 2000 platform.
 
 
Problem: TPopUpMenu doesn't show.
 
I developed a popup menu which reads a set of report files and presents submenus for the user to select the one they want.  I delivered it to my client and the popup menus did not appear on their NT system.  I can't say what version etc they were running but I found the problem was caused by setting the MenuAnimation property.  Odd but true - with TPopUpMenu setting the TPopUpMenu.MenuAnimation to anything other than nul or [] caused the menu not to show on their recent NT system (recent=late 2002)
