Add the Tool as IDE Tool. Only Commandline to "Launch Windows SDK.exe",
Name and a Shortcut like Alt + F1

That's all

PS: Windows 7 is not tested!

Sorry TS. You're too quick!
While you were posting your answer, I was editing my message to tell you i had your helper working nicely (after taking a closer look at the PNG picture packaged with your app! you should re-title it "Read Me First").

Your reply may now seem not to make much sense to someone who didn't read my initial message... Sorry about that.

And many thanks again.

This integrated function in PB-IDE doesn't work with all SDK's, i think, the
same problem comes with jaPBe, won't work with all SDK's, but more than
PB-IDE.

This tool uses COM to found the namesspaces and use the best fit to PB.

To set another namespace, run the tool outside PB-IDE and select a
Namespace.

It should (not tested all though, there are too many SDK's around and they grow bigger and bigger).

If jaPBe doesn't detect the SDK namespace, you can add it manually in jaPBe.pref :

  --- jaPBe.Pref ---
  ...
  [General]
  ...
  AddSDKNameSpace = ms-help://some.undetected.SDK
  ...

Also note that jaPBe may call MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/) directly, so no need to install an SDK.
