You can use PECompact to reduce the size of the exe. Other packers such as UPX do not work properly.

but he will be able to include only files he needs and may be modify CommandBars to remove all themes he don't need, Office2007 frame etc.

OK - thanks, I was just wondering. I link against the library, couldn't see how it could be made any smaller.

As it is the feedback I am getting from my users is terrific!

one of option is indeed add toolkit files to your app. In this case add in your stdafx.h:

Hi Oleg,

Why would this make the exe smaller?

Hello Guys

We have a little Helper application we want to use without installing our main APP. Because of this, I staticly link the MFC and Codejock stuff so I'm not dependend on DLL's

Under Toolkitpro vers 9.81 the app had 1000 kb (exactly 1000)
with the vers 10.31 it now has over  1300 kb.

Is there a simple way to make the file smaller?
how can i build a toolkitpro lib which only include the needed stuff for the app?
or should i add the required codejock source directly to my application?

regards
nobs
