PeterPanettone 157 Posted February 18 David Hoyle has made a 3rd Party IDE Help Delphi plugin: https://github.com/DGH2112/3rd-Party-IDE-Help The Readme says: "This is a RAD Studio wizard/expert/plug-in that allows you to easily configure 3rd-party HTML files for use with the IDE to get context-sensitive help for 3rd party code. It also provides quick access to these files." The ReadMe also says: "To configure the 3rd party help, open the IDE's Options dialogue and look under the 3rd Party node for an options page entitled "3rd Party Help"." I have compiled the project in Delphi 12, and it created TPIDEHelpRS120.dll. I copied TPIDEHelpRS120.dll to C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\23.0\bin\ and restarted the Delphi 12 IDE. However, this 3rd Party node cannot be found in the Delphi 12 IDE Options: How do you install this plugin in Delphi 12? Share this post Link to post
dummzeuch 1501 Posted February 18 Since the project creates a dll, my guess would be that you need an entry in the registry for the IDE to load it. Maybe use a tool like the GExperts expert manager (or the one from David Hoyle you just posted about) to create that entry? Share this post Link to post

PeterPanettone 157 Posted February 18 (edited) I have added the ImageEn CHM help file. Unfortunately, the F1 context-sensitive help does not work with ImageEn. It always opens the help for Vcl.Controls.TCustomControl instead: Perhaps a specific index file for the ImageEn CHM help file is missing?

However, I find it more comfortable to do it in one of the tools mentioned by Thomas: GExperts expert manager or Expert and Package Manager for multiple RAD Studio IDEs from David Hoyle. This is the entry in the Registry: Edited February 18 by PeterPanettone Share this post Link to post
