LCL is a heavy-weight toolkit (memory and size). If size is a serious issue, move over to a more "light weight" (here I mean size, not features) toolkit where you can still get > 1MB executables. This is a big plus point for older WinCE devices where you only have 64-128MB user storage. fpGUI toolkit seems popular on the WinCE platform for exactly this reason [gauging this from user feedback I have received]. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
