This component suite covers every help related task in a Delphi application and completes the help functions supplied by Delphi. 4 powerful components manage context sensitive help, the instant implementation of HTML HELP and training card help:

• TWhatsThis - automates right-click context sensitive “What’s this?”-help and implements a fully automated context sensitive help mode similar to MS Word. Drop a TWhatsThis component on your main form and instantly enable context help menus for all controls without a single code line. What’s more, it enables right-click help for menu items and gives you full control over the F1 key.
• THelpRouter - builds a bridge to HTML HELP without extra coding. It manages the translation of help calls and context sensitive help. This component is the successor of the former THTMLHelpRouter. New functions: support for context sensitive HTML HELP popups and mixed-mode help (HTML HELP plus Winhelp popup windows).
• THelpContextMap - stores help context numbers and their associated topic IDs in a compressed form with ultra-fast searching. It reads help context numbers directly from a help project file (Winhelp and HTML HELP) and is designed to work with TWhatsThis.
• TTrainingCard - simplifies the implementation of Winhelp training cards. Training card help is a kind of wizard in HLP format that interacts with your application.

Tabs get inefficient as soon as you have more than 10 tabs opened. The project manager is better, but it can take you some time to find your file when you have hundreds of them. And both methods make you use the mouse, which is good some times, but not so much others.

The observation that ‘inspired’ this expert is that you are normally working on the 3-4 last files you accessed. So, this gives you a very fast way to switch between them. Just press Alt-Ctrl-Tab, keep pressing Tab without releasing Alt-Ctrl, and you can select the icon of the file you want to work with. It behaves similar to Alt-Tab on windows, it does not just switch between tabs (like ctrl-tab, or Alt-Tab on Windows 3.1), it shows the icons of the files and lets you choose the one you want. Icons are different for different file types, and files from other projects are shown on black and white.
