I've verified the links gave for this question but OTA Api newsgroup is dead, and most of the documentation is unavailable (broken links). Can someone give a starting point with this?

Solution

  • This is not an easy task, trying to create your own Expert. It takes some extensive knowledge of the delphi open Tools api (toolsapi.pas) \

    Some good places to start to learn how to create an expert and/or use of the open tools api

    There is lots more to be found with a google search of Delphi 7 + Open Tools API

    Good Luck!
