Usually, you find out throught the help, but a lot of content of the
help files has been in the wrong format to be used for the help files,

.. since Delphi 7, which still used WinHelp.

Lots of it has already been converted, and help files have improved
considerably already, but they are not complete yet, IMO.

Dear Rudy
As I know, in the source code we can just define the protected method
names and their formal parameters.
Is there any way to finding out their exact functionalities?
