Delphi - Why does ExplicitWidth and ExplicitHeight keep appearing in .DFM files and what is it?

Answer 1

Delphi adds value of published properties to DFM file only when its value different from default.

For example:

property ExplicitWidth: Integer read FExplicitWidth write FExplicitWidth default 1;

If ExplicitWidth value is not 1 then it will be written to the DFM. When the "default" is not defined then any value will be written to the DFM.

TcxSplitter is not standard Delphi component, you'd better ask its author about the purpose of the properties.
