The Tools API is Delphi's scripting language. Unlike other development tools, you use Delphi to extend Delphi. You don't need to learn a new scripting language, or give up your powerful components and development tools.

Whether you need to automate repetitive tasks, create powerful, interactive template for creating forms and projects, or extend Delphi's IDE, the Tools API is your ticket to making your programming job easier.

The best way to find your way around the Open Tools API is to start with Hidden Paths of Delphi 3. This book explains the concepts, terminology, and the Delphi 3 classes that make up the Tools API. The Delphi 3 information applies to Delphi 4, too. These web pages describe the differences between Delphi 3 and Delphi 4.
