I've recently bought Embarcadero RAD Studio XE8 and started my first project. I am done with the setting up the UI, but when it came to adding actions to UI I'm in trouble because I am unable to access the Action section of the object inspector. It keeps saying "Instances of TCustomActionList are not found in the current units."

You have most likely forgotten to drop a TActionList or a TActionManager component on the form; these are the TCustomActionList instances the error message is talking about.

  • The same way you drop a button or a list box or a memo on the form: using the component palette, probably on the bottom right side of the IDE. I don't remember if XE8 has a search box in that panel. If so, you can search for `TActionList`. Otherwise, you'll find it under "Standard". – Andreas Rejbrand Jan 20 '21 at 22:32
