Context-sensitive help integrated into software eliminates the need for help-files.
If you're looking to enhance your Delphi/BCB forms with context-sensitive help features, the FormHelp component is a great option. Unlike other solutions that rely on bulky help files, this component is able to generate popup windows directly from a control's hint.
One of the best things about FormHelp is that it gives you the flexibility to choose how to interpret the hint string. You can stick to plain text, or you can take advantage of rich text formatting options such as different fonts, colors, styles, and line breaks. The component even supports mouse hints, so you don't have to worry about losing any functionality you're used to.
FormHelp simplifies the process of displaying context-sensitive help by eliminating the need for help context numbers or extra files. Additionally, the popup windows generated by the component look and feel completely natural, as if they were native context help in a standard Windows application.
For even easier context-help development, FormHelp comes with a WYSIWYG help designer that you can use to edit the secondary part of the Hint property of any visible control (such as TButton, TCheckBox, or TGroupBox). The component can also add an additional button to the form's title bar, making it even more convenient to use.
