The PopupMenu component is a context menu that is displayed when the user clicks right mouse button in the workspace of a form or a component.
To create a context menu, add the PopupMenu component to the form and set it as the PopupMenu property value of a form or a component.
The list of context menu elements is created in the same way as the list for the MainMenu component.
After the menu has been created, it is available to reorder menu items using Drag&Drop mechanism.
If there are no items in the PopupMenu component, it is not displayed.
