Does anybody know of a ide add-on to be able to use 3rd party components CHM help files with Delphi XE3 (which uses that sh*t help format)?

I'm willing to write my own ide add-on for this functionality, but first thought I would ask - in case somebody already did something like that and can save me some time and effort.

Juan C. Cilleruelo: Thanks, but I don't want to author help - I want to use existing CHM help that came with 3rd party components, and make them accessible via the Delphi IDE (XE3) when I press F1 on one of those components or properties of those components.
ReplyDeleteGraeme Geldenhuys Have a look at my blog (http://www.davidghoyle.co.uk/WordPress/?p=1106) where I intercept calls for help and if the IDE doesn't handle them I query a web search. You would just need to change that to open a CHM file. Your problem will be identifying which of multiple CHM you might need.
