activex - Ways to reduce the size of a Bacic MSI Installer using Installshield -


i made basic msi installer [using installshield 2012 spring professional ] install activex control , added component , enabled "extract com info on installation" option key file .

i have hard coded destination path , disabled license , company info ,destination path selection dialogs . in releases under seup.exe have enabled compression mszip .

the size of activex dll 200 kb , size of setup.exe file generated 1.5 mb , there can reduce size further ?

you'd have @ msi in orca see bloat coming from. might able simplify graphics used dialogs or might find c++ infrastructure custom actions inserted installshield don't need. (right click show custom actions)

i created basic msi using is2012 taking default settings (including mszip) , 613kb. added arbitrary ocx syswow64 folder ( selected based on size: ahtmlle2.ocx 218kb), extracted com data , rebuilt. msi 845kb using mszip , 809kb using lzx.

i looked @ binary table , saw setallusers.dll , isselfreg.dll. don't need either of took them out. got me down 438kb.

finally looked @ stock bitmaps used in dialogs. ( newbinary1 , newbinary5 in case. ) banner (nb1) 4kb. dialog (nb5) 16kb. not bloated. still turned them blank white jpg's , rebuilt. got me 424kb. there other things chase ( icons dialogs ) decided try wix.

i created wix msi using same jpgs , size 392kb. smaller, not in meaningful way. used cross check msi reasonably pure.

linux - xterm copying to CLIPBOARD using copy-selection causes automatic updating of CLIPBOARD upon mouse selection -

i've tried various ways coerce xterm (versions 285 , 292) copy selection clipboard clipboard whenever press ctrl-shift-c. promising way far has been, in ~/.xresources, put this: xterm*vt100.translations: #override \ ctrl shift <keypress> c: copy-selection(clipboard) \n\ ctrl shift <keypress> v: insert-selection(clipboard) ctrl-shift-v works perfectly, copying has nuance... if restart xterm, highlighting text puts things in primary clipboard; expected, proper, default behavior. if hit ctrl-shift-c, copies current selection clipboard clipboard. the bug, however, if highlight text after first time pressed ctrl-shift-c, you'll see highlighting copies both primary and clipboard. cannot figure out how stop xterm updating clipboard upon selection... , doesn't make sense me in first place. i said, @ specific point in time, copy selection clipboard... yet starts updating automatically upon selection after doing once... anyone have workaround...

c++ - qgraphicsview horizontal scrolling always has a vertical delta -

Image
i've subclassed qgraphicsview custom canvas used in cad application. i've reimplemented qgraphicsview::wheelevent check keyboard modifiers control key and, if control key pressed, zoom. i'm trying implement horizontal scroll when user holds shift , uses wheel. the problem i'm having horizontal scrolling always scrolls 0.279. not huge problem, hugely annoying , points else being wrong. so, here questions: is right way implement horizontal scrolling? if not, is? how eliminate delta of 0.279? thanks in advance. code , sample output below void myview::zoom(int delta) { double factor = pow(1.2, delta/abs(delta)); this->scale(factor, factor); } void myview::scrollhorizontal(int level) { qpointf center = maptoscene(viewport()->rect().center()); qdebug() << "center: " << center.x() << ", " << center.y(); centeron(qpointf(center.x() - level, center.y())); } void myview::wheelevent(qwheeleve...
