Is there any way of creating a Non Fullscreen App?
i.e one that is floating on the screen and can be moved.

I have VGA and don't always need to use full screen res for my apps.

Thanks

FBA is designed for full screen applications

One option could be Lazarus, an open source Delphi 7 like IDE. Although I haven't actually tried coding for WinCE. It's not going to be as easy as FBA Creator tho.

That is with all the debug info, check here how to strip the debug info

http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index ... topic&t=66

An empty form should be around 1Mb. You can further compress it by using upx (http://upx.sourceforge.net/)
size should be around 200k. But this is not for WinCE, it is for window. It uses Qt.

As I said I haven't actually tried compiling for WinCE. I did however tested a modified version of the WinCE library called KOL which runs on Windows. It compiles to about 40kb when debug info are stripped out and I expect it would be about the same size for WinCE apps.

This is not the right place to ask if you want to know more, go to the lazarus forum

http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/modul ... file=index

It's not going to be easy, but imo it's easier compared to doing it in C

Another options is to use vstudio and compact .NET framework, or pocketPC programming language, but as already said, this is not the right place to ask.
