It is also the intuitive way. Any other control like this (that is not 
displaying as part of the form  / popupmenu, filedialogs) are dropped on 
the Form, and *not* parented (childed) to any control in the form.

Popupmenus are also assigned via a property. => that is what users will 
expect.
Same for Datasources, on a DBGrid, etc
