Hello,
I am considering buying this library. How big is it? I am asking because ToolkitProEval1113vc60D.dll is 16MB, way too big.
Thank you
Vaclav

The release DLL seems to be around 5.5 megs, but I statically link myself and the executable including CodeJock is under 4 megs.

Thanks!
If I link statically, does it matter which features I use in my code?

Hi;
Statically linking means that only the code used in your app will be inserted into the binaries.

We also statically link ours and have quite a large project which is only 4.16mb for release build, we are currently using 11.1.3 of XTP

I also use BCG (in some projects), and a pretty simple SDI program which doesn't do much is about 2.2 MBs statically linked. I'd say the 2 libraries (BCG and CodeJock) are pretty much similar in size.

You can reduce the size of the Codejock library by adding some defines within the precompiled header to make it some unneeded controls are not included. I know this, because this was once posted here in these forums but off the top of my head I have no idea what the defines were. Stuff like that needs sticked in the message listing, or added to some article. Codejock is awesome but their documentation -- is lousy. Reading their help files have you ever noticed that even their copy of Doxygen has never been registered; probably a bootleg copy.

I have to agree regarding documentation, but it's the same for most libraries. It's the support that counts and reading code, for which there's usually no time

Documentation is lousy, but this forums seems to work well :) BTW which one do you like more, BCG or Codejock? |

Personally I've never tried BCG, and now we are with CodeJock will stay forever as we believe the support is of a high standard. Agreed the documentation is not the best, but if we have issues we get prompt answers.

If Codejock were to document everything they would ship many DVD's - it would be way too big to download. There would just be too much and would never be read.
So I'm happy with the samples - if you know enough to use a library like Codejock then you will find what you need in the samples.
Considering what we pay the results are excellent.

Totally agreed, as if we cant find in samples Oleg etc. are fast with replies and fixes if necessary.

I'm more experienced with BCG (3+ years) and I still use it everyday, but I've used CodeJock for the first time about 4 years ago (and stopped) and then started using it again for another project just now and I must say that eventhough I know BCG's shortcomings pretty well (and thus I can get around them better), I like CodeJock better. Support-wise they're about the same, documentation in both... well, doesn't exist but they get the job done. I would say that CodeJock is a bit more feature-rich.
