[BCB] BCB1: Popup Troubles

[Nick Gianakas <ngiana01@nospam.kepler.poly.edu>]

While on the topic of Popup menus, I'm also having some difficulty
implementing w/ BCB3.
   I created a popup menu at design time, and I would like to assign
it to objects that are created dynamically at run time.  The
components are stored in an STL list.  If I create a pointer and
assign:
  TPopupMenu *m_pNewCompMenu=MainScreen->MyPopupMenu;
it's ok.  When I assign the popup menu to the 'PopupMenu' property of
a newly created component:

m_pGroup=new TPanel(this);                       // ok
m_pGroup->Parent=Parent;                         // ok
m_pGroup->PopupMenu=MainScreen->m_pNewCompMenu;  // fails here

I don't understand why it fails.
Thanks in advance for any all help.
