KOL-CE and WinCE. Basic application configuration

[Dibo]

Hi,
I'm writing my first application for WinCE, so I'm total lame.
I'm comparing diference beetwen KOL-CE and WinCE and can't decide. KOL-CE is fast and small exe, but using LCL i have better compatibility with huge lazarus components library. So I have few questions which I not found on wiki page and forum:
1. Can I safety mix KOL-CE project with lazarus LCL components (mostly dynamically in code) like TCP/IP?

2. This is simple project using LCL:

Why "Menu1" and "Menu2" looks like... strained and low quality JPG? Can I fix this? I have Samsung i780 320x320 px, maybe this is the reason?

3. And this is simple project using KOL-CE:

a). How can I hide form header and show "OK" button like in LCL project?
b). This same problem with "Menu1" and "Menu2" quality

4. Everywhere on the forum I found information, that KOL-CE exe size is ~30 kB and LCL 1MB. But my KOL exe (only form with button) have 190kB and LCL = 1.9 MB, after strip of course. I have KOL-CE 2.80.2 and lazarus snapshot Lazarus-0.9.27-18282-fpc-2.2.3-20090114-win32

Check "Project" -> "Compiler options" -> "Linking" and uncheck the "Generate Debugging info for GDB"

2. Menu font resampling.

Create HiRes.rc text file that contains followed code.


^{HI_RES_AWARE CEUX {1}}


(I'll attach it.)

and link this file to your project like this.

unit1.pas

^{......
implementation
......
{$R HiRes.rc}
......}

3. Form caption and close button of KOL-CE appl.

Never!! modify main form's position or size in your code!!
Just set to "True" the "defaultSize" / "defaultPosition" properties or DO NOTHING!

Good luck~~

It is possible mix lcl and kol?
U tried to use inet package with kol but without success. At least it appears that the events is not happening.

Yes you can mix this components. I had this same problem. There is a solution:
