I suppose you know that the IDEHelpIntf contains a whole lot more than just
that ?
Yes. Although no initialization sections.
Luckily, but I don't want all this code in my binary :-)

From PropEdits:
// Forms with .lfm files
FrmSelectProps, StringsPropEditDlg, KeyValPropEditDlg,
CollectionPropEditForm,
FileFilterPropEditor, IDEWindowIntf;
For one call:
SetPopupModeParentForPropertyEditor(CollectionForm);
I'm not sure why this is needed.
If you don't know, I certainly do not know... :/
From my point of view, none of these should appear in propedits.
Some are probably for Delphi compatibility.
I can see that an effort was made to make the OI independent of the IDE,
but it is either not sufficient, or it has been watered down over time.
The later.
In each case, it pulls in way more than I consider appropriate.
(from an IDE point of view, the tight integration makes sense, no discussion
there)
So it seems that either I take the whole shebang, or I must roll my own.
Well, a TBaseObjectInspector could reduce the shebang.
When I start my implementation, I will consider it.
The OI is quite powerful, it would be a shame not to be able to use it.
Michael.
