Hellow

Is there any way to decrease the size of an executable in static MFC - static Prof-UIS build configuration? After update Prof-UIS version from 2.54 to 2.60 the size of our application increased approximately from 5.25 MB to 7.15 MB. The usage of MDI tabs and dynamic control bars was added in new version of our application. Is this increase defensible? Or there is any way to decrease the size? Maybe there are some preprocessor directives which can do that?

P.S. The size of our new code added to new version is approximatly 50 KB. No new features of MFC were used.

Read this article: How to reduce the size of the Prof-UIS dll that I use in my project?. Although it is about dll, but I think it can also help reducing size of statically linked library.

Thanks, Gyorgy! The size reduced greatly.

We have just updated the mentioned FAQ: you can also reduce the library size by excluding Office 2007 paint managers and unneeded language resources.

After excluding unneded resources sized have reduced dramatically. Thanks for support!
