I remember I asked Martin if they were required, and his answer was technically no, because they are auto generated or something. So I once deleted all *_mfm.pas files from my local MSEide+MSEgui repo, and everything was broken. *shrug* So yeah, no idea what Martin meant. And no idea why they are needed. Granted I never bothered to look inside the MSEgui code to find out either. Either way, I always thought 2 files per form/window/dialog was bad for Delphi/Lazarus - hence I implemented fpGUI to *only* use the single *.pas file. So now seeing 3 files per form/window/dialog in MSEgui is *really bad*! Especially since you can't resolve conflicts in the *_mfm.pas files. :-( If there ever was a long term goal for MSEide going forward, I would putting.... find the meaning of those files and removing them as a big goal going forward.
