IDE custom menu entry

Hi all,
I read somewhere that it would be possible to extend the IDE by custom menu
entries. Is this true and where I can find some documentation on it?
What I actually would like to do is add a link to the HTML help file for my
self-written component to the Help menu.
Any idea how to accomplish this?
thanks,
Nick

You need to write n OpenTools plugin for that. Depending on your version of
Builder, you will either have OpenTools documentation ship with it or not.
If not, then you'll have to hunt around for third-party documentation.

That, on the other hand, has nothing to do with the IDE or writing
extensions for it. Simply go up to the Help menu, choose the Customize
option, and add your help file to the index. However, you cannot use
HTMLHelp, you must use WinHelp instead.

Do you happen to know which versions had this documentation? And did
the documentation change much from version to version (if at all)?

BCB6 has documentation. Earlier versions have sample code.

Hey! Gambit had a typo! There goes my theory that
Remy is just an incredible AI program.
Maybe I'm just programed to mistype occasionally specifically for the
purpose of giving people that impression to hide my true identity ;-)
