It is a simple one o probably can compile on older versions. Before going into re-installing older versions to find out when the switch was made to external DLLs: 1. Is there an option in the current version to force a build into a single exe? 2. what was the last version that built a single exe.

Newer versions can create a single exe file, it just depends on which classes you use (pushbutton does not require a dll; bevel button does). I once had a project which I had to create a canvas control to replicate the 'disclosure triangle' since that was the only item I needed which required a dll, and I needed to keep my program to a single file. This was a simple program, it didn't need any database connectivity or networking, so I was able do it. _________________ RB 2009r4 Windows XP Top charonn0 Post subject: Re: single exe filePosted: Thu Feb 28, 2013 1:06 pm Joined: Mon Apr 02, 2007 2:08 am Posts: 1151 Location: San Francisco, CA, USA markwalsh wrote:Newer versions can create a single exe file, it just depends on which classes you use That was the case up through 2011r4.3. After that (2012r1+) even a blank window and no code will yield a DLL (msvcrt.dll if memory serves); this is one of the main reasons I'm still using 2011r4.3 _________________ Boredom Software Top markwalsh Post subject: Re: single exe filePosted: Thu Feb 28, 2013 6:02 pm Joined: Wed May 20, 2009 4:43 pm Posts: 940 charonn0 wrote:markwalsh wrote:Newer versions can create a single exe file, it just depends on which classes you use That was the case up through 2011r4.3.

I'm using an older version myself, and cannot check past 2011. _________________ RB 2009r4 Windows XP Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 6 posts ] -- Over 1500 classes with 29000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in collection.
