BTW, interesting observation.

wxWidgets eyecare.exe (linked with static libs) has 876 KB
U++ eyecare.exe has 840 KB

Quite good considering that wxWidgets is using native Win32 widgets while U++ basically reimplements the whole GUI Wink

Mirek

(linked with static libs) Yes!

Is this even more interesting:
In memory: minimized open
=================
codeblocks 1984 k 17,780 k
theide 676 k 13,836 k

Starting times comparison - 5-10 times? (At least, codeblocks is below my patience level...)
And then, responsiveness...
I know that codeblocks is not made by J.S but it is made with wxWidgets...

Then, programming times 1:2-500-1000 ratio? (e.g hyperlinks... Smile

)

P.S.
Then, how do say in English, if someone offers to you to buy a worse product for at least double the price?
Or offers a worse job for several times less salary?

I don't know how do say in Czech but what I hear in London is:
"You must be joking!"
You can check in dictionaries...
Even more, I think, offering to use wxWidgets when U++ exists is a crime against humanity (I write for people who still haven't lost the ability to understand jokes...). Why? Wasting of human brain and computing power... Smile

About childishness:

Quote:

Do you know the H C Andersen’s story about the Emperor’s New Suit?

To see the truth you need the child who will say in front of all “but he has nothing on at all” - the King is naked.

And why children or childish people (in a good sense) are able to learn things more quickly than solid bosses? I know that very well from my learning and teaching experience... Smile
