I set a breakpoint in TControl.SetHint and launched an instance of the IDE with the debugger attached. After a half dozen hits I was into the pallet speedbuttons and checked the call stack. Now I'm trying to track down how the source editor invokes FPDoc support when you hover over an identifier. A search for FPDoc in the source turned up the CodeHelp unit. Anyone know if I'm on the right track?
