| Hi,
i had a look into a ActiveX tutorial to display
an application in the webbrowser. the problem is
that a small 'hello world' application has a filesize of over
250kb. but i dont need the visual components for
the installer. is there an example or tutorial
available to build an activex installer?
regards

| you can still create a console app.
or create an WIn app with no VCL or
any windows..
just the main start up! etc.
it will give you the small size file that
your looking for.

| hmm, i didn't realize you were making an
activex form. in that case you may have
alittle problem because you are using
the VCL for that.
the ActiveX is the part that creates the
interface to your code.
the fact that some ActiveX libs require
a Host window to show on does not mean you
no longer have a need for the VCL.
the VCL is still doing the work.
its only assumed that once you create any form
of app that shows some kind of window or controls
then you most likely are going to be building something
that would eventually use that much code space more.
Yes, there are things in the VCL that are loaded in
your app that will never be used. if you want something
lighter than that then maybe you should break out the
MSDN guide and start with doing the ActiveX from the
raw level.
