C++ Builder IDE >> Resource Data Contained inside exe file...

by qyte » Sat, 05 Nov 2005 09:35:02 GMT

I have open the exe file with a resource editor but i see a
category inside of it called RCDATA. There it contains all
the dfm of the project and other resources provided by components.
Is there a way of avoiding that? I can see that the exe's that
InnoSetup makes although it's built on delphi have no such data.
Is it possible to restrict the file size from within the IDE?
I mean without using an exe compressor such as upx.

No. Your app needs these info to run correctly. For instance
informations about your forms. Try using your resource editor and change
one of the parameters of your form such as the width or height property,
you'll see that the dimensions of your form will change accordingly.


It's possible that InnoSetup uses raw API functions to create the
windows just to avoid the overhead of Borland forms. I don't know.
