I am writing a Window application that will be distributed on the web, and I want to keep its size as small as possible, so I decided not to use MFC at all. Is it still possible to take advantage of all the Prof-UIS feature in this application without creating a dependecy on MFC?

Thanks,

Adrian

To create your executable module independent from MFC the application should be statically linked with MFC. The static release version of Prof-UIS will make your EXE larger approximately by up to 1 MB. But you can make it of a lesser size (approx by 0.5 MB) by excluding some unneeded (redundant) features (Here is a FAQ How to reduce the size of the Prof-UIS dll that I use in my project? that may be helpful with this).

From what I understand, the app will always have to link with the MFC libraries, be them static, or dlls, is that true? Or is it possible to have an application that doesn’t use MFC at all? The MFC code can significatnly increase the size of an application so our app uses only direct API calls and/or ATL.

Thanks,

Adrian

Prof-UIS is designed to be used in conjunction with MFC only.
