I'm just now getting around to working with ActionMainMenuBar and ActionManager and I'd like to find out what version of Delphi this component was introduced? Where can I find out this type of information?

I found this page with a Google search: http://www.blong.com/Conferences/BorCon2003/Actions/6102.htm

Under the Introduction section near the top it mentions that actions and action list components have been around since "Delphi 4 in June 1998"

The TActionMainMenuBar seems to have been introduced in 2001 with Delphi 6:

Under the Action Managers And ActionBands section about a quarter of the page down:

"If you are using Delphi 6 or later, you can dispense with action list components altogether and simply use an action manager, which allows you to create action components.

The new action components are sat at the end of the Additional page of the Component Palette. The TActionManager component is the enhanced action list replacement which we will use here. You can also find the two Action Band components, TActionMainMenuBar and TActionToolBar."

From the Embarcadero Developer Network I managed to also find this page here which shows screen shots from Delphi 6: http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/27317

enter image description here

A quote from that link:

"Without further ado, we dive straight into the component palette of Delphi 6.

On the Additional tab you'll notice some new stuff, such as TValueListEditor, TLabeledEdit, TColorBox, TActionManager, TActionMainMenuBar, TActionToolBar, and TCustomizeDlg."
