How to copy a menu item from a TMainMenu to an empty popup menu

Answer:

This will only copy the first level of menu items:

1   procedure TForm1.PopupMenu1Popup(Sender: TObject);
2   var
3     I: Integer;
4     MenuItem: TMenuItem;
5   begin
6     TPopupMenu(Sender).Items.Clear;
7     {Copy menu items from first mainmenu (File1)}
8     for I := 0 to File1.Count - 1 do
9     begin
10      with File1.Items[I] do
11        MenuItem := NewItem(Caption, ShortCut, Checked, Enabled, OnClick, HelpContext,
12          Name);
13      TPopupMenu(Sender).Items.Add(MenuItem);
14    end;
15  end;
