Why it happens so ?
-
I am building a dialog based application (MFC) showing complex tebular data, say different form of grids. I did not find any grid to fullfill my needs. so i put a numer of msflex grids (15 grids) set their properties to give look and feel i want, but it caused an anoying problem. The size of resource templete file .rc is 12MB but changing size and properties of grid/dialog to get desired look causes the size of .rc file upto 200 MB, the computer nearly dies while compilation may be due to large size of .rc file, dialog also contains 3 bitmap images the total size of iamges is just 615KB (so the BMP's are not the problem) I want to ask that; 1. Is their any limitation on the resources in an application/ dialog? 2. Limitation on Number of controls that can be placed on dialog? 3. Obviously 200MB .rc file is unacceptable, any compiler options; how to fix .rc files, I have regesigned the dialog but when the number of controls increases same problem reappears. Please, Help. :confused:

Me too got the same prblm. .. But once we delete the grids, the .RC file size will decrease. Again we can add the grid. But its safe to have backup of .RC file It might be a bug in the ActiveX grid.

Thanks for ur Reply:rose: Again we can add the grid. Adding the grids back re-increases the the size of .rc file; problem reappears It might be a bug in the ActiveX grid. Any tool or method to ensure the safe usability of AX controls? so one can check the contols before using it. MSFlex grid is Microsoft's product, it cant be buggy (maybe); ithink it is some other problem related to resource compiler about which i know nothing.
