Works for me. What version of Delphi are you using?

I take it you want to hide the entire menu??
I'd take a look at RemoveComponent and InsertComponent.
You'll need to assign your main menu component to something else in your
FormCreate for example:
SaveMainMenu := MainMenu1;
The reason for this is that as soon as you use RemoveComponent, your form no
longer knows anything about MainMenu1 (and Delphi sets the variable for
MainMenu1 to nil)..
To remove the main menu from the form (ugly since its going to scroll
everything up):
RemoveComponent(SaveMainMenu);
To show the main menu:
InsertComponent(SaveMainMenu)
I've no idea whether this confuses the hell out of the the VCL when it tries to
tidy up the VCL controls when closing. Use at your own risk. Someone else might
have better ideas though.

run time
I am using version 4.03 and have never been able to hide or disable main
menu items at run time.

Yes forgot to mention that I want to hide/show a main menu item at
runtime. e.g hide the Tools menu with all associated menu items.

Works just fine for me. I created the following menu structure in a
new Delphi project:
File Edit Window
New Cut Tile
Open Copy Cascade
Paste
I then dropped a button on the form and put the following code in its
OnClick event handler:
Edit1.Visible := not Edit1.Visible;
Clicking the button at runtime toggles the visibility of the Edit menu
as expected.

I can't reproduce this. I've set a main menu item's Visible property
at run time and it works just fine. I've tested with Delphi 3, 4, and
5.

Found the problem, I am using a TMenubar which does not reflect this
property, needs setting of the buttons visible property.

Delphi's TMenuBar is way too incompatible and you need to be aware of a lot
of things.
