I want to make a custom dropdow/popup menu with a shadow nicely beneath it. The problem is that it is not a standard menu and I need to put some components on the popup/dropdown. So basically I want a dropdown I can do whatever I want with, not being limited to simple menuitems. I want it to act like a normal popupmenu problem is where do I start. Any solutions? References?

It sounds like you want a form that looks like a popup menu, but contains components.
It is easier if you have a component that has an OnMouseDown event, like the TPanel shown in this sample, and you just pop up a second form which contains the controls you wanted to pop up:
procedure TForm3.JvPanel1MouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
if Button=mbRight then
FDown := true
else
FDown := false;
end;
procedure TForm3.JvPanel1MouseUp(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
var
pt:TPoint;
begin
if Button=mbRight then begin
FDown := true;
pt.X := jvPanel1.Left;
pt.Y := jvPanel1.Top+jvPanel1.Height;
pt := ClientToScreen(pt);
Form4.Position := poDesigned;
Form4.BorderStyle := bsNone;
Form4.Left := pt.X;
Form4.Top := pt.Y;
Form4.Show;
end;
end;
That handles the form showing itself, and positioning itself to look like a popup.
the second form hiding itself, is easy too:
procedure TForm4.FormDeactivate(Sender: TObject);
begin
Hide;
end;
