Delphi 2007 Packages

[Orionizer]

Just wondering when Delphi 2007 packages would be available or has anyone successfully used the 2006 packages with 2007?

D2007 packages for the context help wizard will be included in the next update. For the time beeing, you can use the D2006 packages and install them manually. The binaries are compatible.

There's a new »field« in Delphi 2007: »HelpKeyword«. No idea about the purpose. Has this anything to do with the context help wizard or are there plans for the next release of Help & Manual? Where can I find more informations? Thanks.

The helpKeyword field, in combination with the HelpType property set to "htKeyword", defines the name (HTML page name) of the context sensitive help topic, when using HTML Help. For instance, a H&M topic with the id "mytopic" would appear as "mytopic.htm" in the HelpKeyword field. This has nothing to do with index keywords - the wording is a little bit misleading.

The HelpKeyword property is only used when you rely on Delphi's own help manager (Delphi 2007 supports HTML Help natively). EHS and THelpRouter do not use it at all, but rely on the HelpContext field for context sensitive help.

Logically, can we assume that the same is for C++ Builder 2007?
