I want to create an array of TMenuItems to hold recent files. Is there any simple way to do it?
Thanks

wrap them for you but you need to enter a hard return at the

they are TMenuItems that you intend to add them to a menu and
if so then you don't need an array at all because TMenuItem
decends from TComponent which has an Owner property.
Once it's allocated and assigned an Owner, that owner assume
responsibility for destroying that object when it is destroyed.
This means that you *do not* need to maintain an array of
pointers to the allocated objects and if you think that I'm
wrong because you might want to delete some of those objects
on the fly, you can still do that without the array.
I would suggest that you assign the Owner as the next higher
menu item. IOW, use the 'parent'TMenuItem as the Owner when
you allocate it:
TMenuItem *pItem = new TMenuItem( SomeOtherMenuItem );
pItm->Caption = "SomeCaption";
pItem->OnClick = SomeOnClickEvent;
pItem->GroupIndex = SomeOptionalValue;
pItem->Tag = SomeOtherOptionalValue;

where SomeOtherMenuItem is the Owner of pItem. That way, if
you delete SomeOtherMenuItem, all of it's sub-Items will
automatically be destroyed as well.
