Resource leak in menus

[Giovany Vecchi]

This problem also occurs in MDICHILD windows and Dialogs NON MODAL. Perhaps the problem is in NON MODAL procedures.

James, Antonio,

how does the GDI count work? Ist it part of spy++ (spyxx.exe)?

[James Bott]

Gilbert,

You can just use the Windows Task Manager to view the current GDI information. Note that you will have to add that column to the view.

Select the Details tab on the Task Manager, then right-click on any column heading, then click on Select Columns and then GDI.

I appreciate if some of you can test and confirm the increased GDI types

[Antonio Linares]

In my tests it seems as hDCs are increasing

Please click on the refresh button in gdiview.exe

I have the same problem also. I have checked the GDI count from the task manager and I realised that
when the GDI reaches to 10000, my exe hangs and stop working but the computer does not stop.
I have test with GDIView and I have seen that only the Font is increasing.

Check for unreleased fonts in your code. If you create a font then you are responsable to oFont:End() it

Antonio, I have done my test with testmnu3.prg in samples folder.
As I said before only the fonts are continiously increasing when I move the cursor amoung the menu items.

we are checking it

Antonio:

I noticed this entry in the latest FWH upgrade notice.

Menus
Fixed: increase font resources

Is this the fix for this particular problem? If so, do I need to purchase the latest upgrade to get the fix?

Can you elaborate about what the problem/fix was and in what version of FWH the problem was introduced?

Thanks,
Randal

[Randal]

All:

Can anyone tell me if this change in the New FWH 17-07 Update is the fix for this problem?
