What I need is a small sized IDE+compiler for creating C++ applications that will interact with win32APIs... And It'd be grat for it to be capable of analizing headers I give it for code completion and connecting DLL's (not .Net DLLs but If it'd be capable ofcompiling C++ .NET projects I would just be super-duper glad) to project should be eazy. So I know my requirements are hard. For example for C# I found SharpDevelop but it does not provide C++ capabileties... so Any Ideas, please

A:
Eclipse IDE for C++ developers comes in at 88MB direct download http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-developers/heliossr1
The IDE installed is more than 100mb, but it still has a very small footprint after installation...

Is it good at DLLs and .lib support?

It does everything you would expect a C++ IDE to do. The only place I have found it lacking in the past is when debugging, it's just a bit different that what you might expect from Visual Studio IDE. It's not necessarily worse, I just didn't like it as much.

A:
NetBeans IDE is another possible option.
and it has an even smaller footprint than Eclipse IDE

A:
Code::Blocks is another one to consider. The binaries for the IDE + the Mingw compiler are only 73 MB compressed. Code::Blocks should be able to do all or most of what you want, though I'm pretty sure it can't do any C++/CLI stuff.
