Don't use wx, use native Windows controls that already
exist on the machine. That makes the application very small.
That said, I disagree that 3.5Mb is too much to download. It
only takes about 7 seconds on my machine (cable modem). If your

I develop shareware applications that need to be extremely slim (less
than 1 MB is preferable).
Delphi applications easily meet this requirement and I can expect end
users to download the .NET framework (if they don't already have it!).
However, I cannot expect users to download 3.5 MB.
