EZGUI Freeware DD produces a lot of code??

[Russ Srole]

I've been using Chris' Ezgui commercial version for about
6 months now and it's great. Get the real one and save yourself
a lot of work.

There are two versions of my Freeware Designer. The Lite
version eliminates much of the library code, but lacks a few
features found in the other version.

As Paul suggested, you can delete much of the Library code if unused.

As far as the need for Library code, a good bit of it is necessary.

In some instances, I find the use of the Library functions much
cleaner and easier that straight API calls (ie. creating fonts).

The overhead is relatively small compared to its advantages.

If your app doesn't use the Tab control or Tooltips nearly half of
the Library can be deleted.

I don't have time to improve the Freeware tools, so you have to
live with it.

I do have a commercial version which I am working on (both DDT and SDK)
which will be much smart. While both tools will use a Library
(in an include file), they will support conditional compiling so
you can easily eliminate unneeded code (simply set a constants value).

Thanks for your reply Chris!

depends on your app.

I suppose the simple answer is "NO" you can sometimes delete over half of it.
What's good is that there is a lot there and depending on what you need you can keep.

Hi all,
I tried out the EZGUI Freeware Dialog Designer. It seems like
a very nice program.
I mostly use the "skeleton" command to produce the base code for
my application.
I noticed however that EZGUI produces a lot of functions and subs,
EZLIB_....
All are these functions necessary??

Kind regards
Eddy
