1. Welcome
----------------------------------------------------
The FormHelp component adds the context-sensitive help features
to your Delphi/BCB forms without any bulky help files. It traps
the context-sensitive help calls and creates its own popup windows
from a control's hint. You can choose whether to interpret the hint
string as plain text or as kind of rich text allowing you to apply
different fonts colors, styles and line breaks. Don't worry about
your hints - FormHelp uses the secondary part of a control's hint
that is separated by a vertical bar "|". Mouse hints still works as
well. With FormHelp, neither help context numbers nor extra help files
are required to display context sensitive help. FormHelp's popup
windows looks and feels like native context help in standard Windows
applications.

The FormHelp component can apply the "What's This?"  menu item to
every control with context-sensitive help in the secondary part of
hint, and invokes the help after pressing the "Help" ("?") button on
the title bar or after selecting "What's This?" menu item.

For easement of context-help developing, component contains a WYSIWYG
help designer (drop FormHelp onto your form and try to edit secondary
part of Hint property of any visible control like TButton, TCheckBox
or TGroupBox) and may have an additional button  on form's title bar.
