Hello,
Can anyone give an example on the use of IOTAPaletteServices for 
adding/removing components from Palette ? I dont find any documentation 
regarding this interface. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

If you literally mean "components", I'm not sure you want to go this route to 
add/remove components, unless you are doing something fairly esoteric.  It 
would probably be better just to load/unload the packages/assemblies 
containing the components instead of trying to filter out components already 
loaded or add new ones via some non-standard means.  What exactly are you 
trying to do and have you tried anything so far that has failed?

You might start by looking at IOTAPaletteServices.BaseGroup and 
IOTAPaletteGroup.AddGroup to add new palette groups/items.

Sadly, the decent OTA documentation we had in Delphi 7 has been completely 
removed from the product.  It didn't cover this newer interface, but it did 
cover a lot of the other common interfaces.
