Put a control into the menu bar?

[sjordi 39]

Hi,

Does anybody have experience with placing a control into the menu bar?
Mainly I'd like to add an active control in the Mac menu bar, or the Windows toolbar.
Is there a described or easy way to achieve that? A control that would, say, open a callout menu with information.

Thanks for any light

Steve

I have a demo of how to do this on macOS, here: https://github.com/DelphiWorlds/KastriFree/tree/master/Demos/macOSStatusBar

 

It relies on files in the Kastri Free project: https://github.com/DelphiWorlds/KastriFree

 

For Windows, use a TTrayIcon. I think there's plenty of examples around the internet of how to use it.
