Hi,

I am trying to build a component based on TCustomPanel, that has a TToolbar
in it with buttons. These buttons are linked to TActions, and these actions
have shortcuts.

When I create the object dynamically, the shortcuts work just fine, but when
I turn the object into a component, place it on a form,and run the
application, I get an error: "A component named MyActionList already
exists".

Has anyone ever created a component that responds to shortcut keys through
TActions?

It may be a problem with the 'Owner' property:
When you put a component on a form, it's owner is the Form. If you create a
component containing cub-components, do create them with the Form as their
owner. The ActionList only checks for shortcuts in owned components, not in
owned components' components array.
If you name the ActionList in your component, you're not able to create 2 of
them. Or - it may be the 'owner' problem....try *not* to give it a name...
