ok, another splitt-up (the standard controlz)

[vbAlex]

my program is very simple...
it only consistz of a form, a textbox and a label.

componentz: winsock 6

when the user runs, the program shows the own ip..

but with all dependencies and compressed by bitarts fusion the app has 770 KB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

can't i split up the standard controlz, c'coz i only need the text and the label....

and why is the msvbvm so huge (in kbs) ????

There is nothing you can do about that, it is probably the worse thing about VB

Either rewrite it in C++ or another language without the dependency on librarys or you have to live with it.

If you only need the winsock control for getting the ip address then you can use the Winsock API or the Get the IP through a couple API calls but I can't seem to find my project with an example for you. I did find the API way of doning it either on this site or http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/.
