Sorry, but "methinks" that you are both beating the wrong
horse and confusing some issues.  Delphi has buckets of
built-in documentation about the VCL primarily because
Borland, not some other vendor, supplies the library.  
VC++ has buckets (or does it) of documentation on MFC 
because the same folks who brought you VC++ unfortunately
brought you MFC.  Neither of those vendors provides in
depth documentation on third-party libraries.

As for being able to read documentation provided with third-
party libraries, the on-line manual tells you how to describes 
not only the source and class locations of such libraries, but
the location of the documentation, as well.  By doing so, you will
see the documentation in the "Doc" tab of the source code editor.
To see JavaDoc documentation of your own classes, you can run
you classes through a JavaDoc utility.  Search the archives of
these newsgroups on how to do this.

That you don't get to the documentation in the same manner
as you do with other programs is, well, an issue that has
been beaten to death in these newsgroups, and doesn't need
further flogging.
