Yup all the time. I cant believe the help is as bad as it is. Surely all they needed to do was cut and paste the help from D7 into the new product (most of it is unchanged after all).
I gather that the Help is getting some real priority at CodeGear, however I still keep the D7 help file as I find this the most helpful. Often there are Delphi code examples on how some things are used, as well as reasonably clear descriptions, instead of e.g. ... TStrings: This is class Classes.TStrings. and when I look at TStrings' properties, I'm presented with... Capacity: This is Capacity, a member of class TStrings. CommaText: This is CommaText, a member of class TStrings. Count: This is Count, a member of class TStrings. DelimitedText: This is DelimitedText, a member of class TStrings. etc... OK, that is really useful help. Not sure where I read it yesterday but I loved the quote "CodeGear should rename 'Help' to 'Hinder' to prevent being sued for misleading advertising". However, I have heard all the reports of the priority and on-going work that D2007 Help is being given, and wait patiently (for a reasonable length of time) while they complete this massive task.
