This pages shows examples of using the Tools API and has links to full, working wizards. For some examples of the old Tools API, see Hidden Paths of Delphi 3, which has examples of all the interfaces, including file systems, resources, and more. Because so little has changed from the old to the new API, these examples are still helpful.
