Hi,

I have fixed a few things in your integrated help (see the ChangeLog).

A few remarks:

- Prefix the name of a local variable with its type (b for boolean, i for 
integer, s for string, c for Collection, a for any array, h for an object 
handle...)

- $xxx is a name for a private variable. Public variables should be named with 
letters only, the first one of each word being in uppercase.

- You put $bDisableIntegratedHelp in FMain. Why? You should have put it in 
FProperty, as it does not concern FMain at all. This way, it does not have to 
PUBLIC anymore!

- Strings that must be translated (i.e. that are displayed) must be marked as 
translatable. You do that by putting them between braces.

- The property help SidePanel should remember its position by storing it in 
the default settings file. Save the position during the Form_Close event of 
FProperty, and restore it during the Form_Open event.

Best regards,
