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.

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.
