Description

NewPopupMenu is a TPopUpMenu function used to create and configure a new pop-menu with the values specified in the arguments to the routine. The return value is created using the component in Owner as the owner of the class instance. The value in AName is used in the Name property for the new menu instance. AutoPopUp and Alignment are assigned to the corresponding properties in the new pop-up menu instance.

NewPopupMenu calls an implementation routine to add the menu Items to the new menu instance. It ensures that the Owner for the menu items are updated to reflect the Owner for the new menu instance, and that they are inserted into the Owner component.
