For some of the controls like buttons, comboboxes, etc. you are correct. Maybe in a different situation like Delphi itself TCustomForms might have been required. However in what you currently have TForms consisted of

TForm = class (TCustomForm)
constuctor .....
destructor ...
end.

and the only things that constructor and destructor did was

inherited Create

and

inherited Destroy

So what good was it? It just made for another layer that didn't do
anything.

Cliff, Shane,

Before you do any more work be sure to checkout from CVS. I have been doing some cleanup and paring down of some of the files. Many of the class have redudent methods that are not needed. I will be continuing to clean up and look for more bugs.

Remember though, you don't really want to take out TCustomForm because we really would want to move all relevant calls and methods to that so people would inherit that class instead of TForms. So make sure you aren't taking out classes when moving methods is what's really needed.
