I want to know is it possible to accessing to the code body of a
protected member in the VCL or RTL source code or elsewhere, or not,
we can just find out the formal parameters of protected methods by
inspecting the VCL or RTL source code?

Like I said, they used to be in the help files, but in the transition
from Winhelp (D7 and below) to HtmlHelp2 (D8 and later), a lot of that
information got lost or was in an unusable format. This is slowly being
reversed, but currently, the only information about the formal
parameters and the functionality of a protected method can be found in
the source code.

I'm sure this is going to change again.
