Hi, After spending nearly and hour rebasing only two small branches from 2016 and bringing them up to date with the latest MSEide, I discovered that I really dislike this "mfm" idea of forms.
I understand the *.mfm is the "object version" of the *.pas file that represents a window/dialog. Just like Delphi's *.frm or Lazarus's *.lfm files. But what the hell is the point of the *_mfm.pas file!!!! It's like a semi binary array version of the window/dialog. Not human readable at all, so impossible to resolve merge conflicts in. MSEide also seems to prefer reading the contents of that file, instead of the *.mfm file, which makes matters even worse. I had to recreate many settings by killing off all my branch changes and manually redoing them so MSEide can regenerate the latest stupid *_mfm.pas file with my changes. Martin had many brilliant ideas, but the *_mfm.pas was absolute rubbish. Why 3 files per form. Why a binary version (even Delphi learned what a bad idea that was back in the day) :-( Regards, Graeme _______________________________________________ mseide-msegui-talk mailing list mseide-msegui-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mseide-msegui-talk
