Oh no, why so much ressources?

   I was really impressed about the SuiteControls from v11.1.3. Small size - big usage! But now, what are you doing guys?

Why do you put so much ressource-hungry components into it? Like the WebBrowser-control???    

Why do you not split SuiteControls in some parts - like Microsoft's Common-controls: SuiteControl 1, SuiteControl 2 and so on...   ...so the developer can take what he needed! E.g. in most of my applications i only need a flat text- und combobox... No webcontrol, no HexEditor, no TreeView!

And by the way in some cases i can not detect the difference to the standard-controls from MS. E.g. what ist the difference from your DateTimePicker and the MS-DateTimePicker? The only what i detect is, that it has less features like the MS-control! No Flat-Style and so on...!???

And last but not least the ocx-size is now realy big - more then 1 MB for some standard-controls!!! 

Guys, you do a great job, but this is too much for lightwight-use! 

!!! please correct me, if i don't understand something and i'm wrong with my statement!

	Hello, 11.1.3 was 716 kb, 11.2 is 1280 kb. Is 500kb really a problem? If we devide controls, each will be about 600 kb because each ocx will include a lot of _common_ code. btw anyway all installers pack files in result exe. Control.ocx in zip is about 500kb :)

	Thanks for your reply. Of course you're right with the OCX-size. And i do understand your reason about the common-code! But it is fact, that the components are heavy-controls (and the controls inside seams to be original MS-controls, only subclassed!). And please - my last questions: 1.) [...] what ist the difference from your DateTimePicker and the MS-DateTimePicker? 2.) And how can i set it to flat-style?

	Hi, We tried to implement all MS controls in one single ocx, so you can replace and don't deliver all ocx from Microsoft. btw I don't see FlatStyle property for MS-DateTimePicker :(

	Sorry, Oleg. But i don't understand your answer. My question was based of the Codejock-DateTimePicker. All the other Edit controls does have a Flat-Style and i wish a similar GUI for my customers. So how can i set it to "flatstyle" - or is this feature be planned for the next release? Sorry 4 my bad english, i'm a alien! ;-)
