Add comments to properties
«

I am writing a custom component. In the IDE, some component properties display a description at the bottom of the Object Inspector. I'm trying to figure out how to do that in my component but I can't find anything on it.

It's taken from file ..lazarus/doc/xml/lcl/controls.xml and it's done with FPDoc Editor which is part of IDE (menu View). You can do it for your package too.

Write description as comment, one line above the property/method declaration in your unit.

Those comments one line above appear as a hint when you hover the identifier in Source Editor. I'm just not sure if they also appear in Object Inspector.
