Is ElevateDB supposed to come with built-in <F1> help?

Here's a snippet of code from the XE4 IDE:

type
 TMain = class(TForm)
   RzStatusBar1: TRzStatusBar;
   MainMenu1: TMainMenu;
   RzMenuController1: TRzMenuController;
   File1: TMenuItem;
   ActionList1: TActionList;
   ImageList1: TImageList;
   actExit: TAction;
   Exit1: TMenuItem;
   RzSplitter1: TRzSplitter;
   EDBEngine1: TEDBEngine;
   EDBSession1: TEDBSession;
   EDBDatabase1: TEDBDatabase;
   EDBTable1: TEDBTable;

If I put the cursor on TEDBTable and press <F1> I don't a help
reference. I get Delphi's default help page  titled "Code Editor".

Don't think so though i personally gave up on the Delphi built-in help
long time ago (way too slow to be useable) and just use online resources.

For EDB i use :

Got back to my PC and I stand corrected - it does work in XE2.

Both in design mode and code view i can press F1 when on the compoent or
keyword and it comes up with Topics found listing with TEDBTable help
topic on top and you can click on it and get to help file.

Works in D2006, but unlike Raul I use the pdf manual - so much better than the new modern on line help system Smiley

P.S. And don't forget the built in (searchable) help-system in EDBManager!

Michael,

Yes.

I'll check it out - it may be an issue with changes to the XE4 namespaces
for the help.  EMBT does that occasionally, and sometimes I miss it.

Thanks,
