Can we use Popupmenu in FMX?

I am developing a mobile app in FMX where i need Popupmenu but it is showing disable in Tool Palette i cant use it but in VCL its enabled in Tool Palette and can use it. I just want to know if Firemonkey supports Popupmenu or my installation is having problems or we have to use other tools instead of Popupmenu in FMX? or what else can I do?

and actually i opened one VCL project and copied popupmenu from there to FMX and wrote code on one button and that code is

procedure TFRM_Party.BTN_Party_OptionClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
  PopupMenu1.Popup(10,10);
  PopupMenu1.Parent := Self;
end;

this code is not showing any error and also not performing also. what to do? anybody having idea?

The short answer to your question is "Yes", you ought to be able to use the FMX version of TPopupMenu in a project created from File | New |Multi-Device Application in the IDE. If you can't find the FMX TPopupMenu on the Component Palette, something must be wrong with your Delphi install. I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say that it's "disabled" - components are usually either on the Component Palette or not, I don't recall seeing one looking disabled there.

You don't say in your question which version of Delphi you are using, but if it has FireMonkey at all, AFAIK it definitely ought to have the FMX version of TPopupMenu.

In Delphi 10.2 Seattle, for example, the FMX TPopupMenu appears on the "Standard" tab of the component palette, and is contained in the source unit FMX.Menus along with TMenuBar and TMainMenu, amongst others.

If you go to Component | Install packages in the IDE, the pop-up should show Embarcadero FMX Standard Components in the list, which is the file dclfmxstd250.bpl in the bin folder of your Delphi install. If that package isn't listed, that explains why you can't find the FMX TPopupMenu, but if that's the case for you, your Delphi ought to be lacking a lot more FMC components besides TPopupMenu. However, it should be easily solved by installing the .bpl file (or equivalent in your Delphi version). If the package is there, clicking the Components button to the bottom right of the pop-up should bring up the entire list of FXM standard components (which in my case does include TPopupMenu).

If your Delphi does include the Embarcadero FMX Standard Components but is still lacking TPopupMenu, you might try creating a new Package, adding FMX.Menus.pas to it and compiling and installing it in the IDE.

BTW, although it is possible to set up a combined FMX + VCL project (Google for how), just because you might be able to put a VCL TPopupMenu on an FMX Form doesn't mean that it's going to work.
