are you using other GDI resources, besides CPen (CBrush, CBitmap, etc) ?

I'm using CPen, CFont, and CRgn

C^hris L^osinger11-Aug-02 14:33

are you doing the same :

CGDIObejct *pOld = dc.SelectObejct(&newObj);
...
dc.SelectObject(pOld);
newObj.DestroyObject();

sequence for all of them?

I'm not selecting the region into the DC or deleting it or anything. You think that might be my issue? The only thing is. I've whittled down my app, for testing to find this problem, to not do anything except let me draw a line. In the line class, I have the selectobject and deleteobject calls for the pen and it still eats the GDI memory like crazy because I redraw it each time I mouse over it. But the function for drawing the line when I first draw it or when I mouse over it and off of it is the same function. I'm not sure what I'm missing, but it's obviously something.

can you post the line-only code?

Here is the Constructor:

CLine::CLine(CPoint Start, CPoint End, COLORREF aColor, int aWidth, int aStyle, int aType, int aRouteType)
{
m_StartPoint = Start;
m_EndPoint = End;
m_Color = aColor;
m_Width = aWidth;
m_Style = aStyle;
m_StartPointRect = (0,0,0,0);
m_EndPointRect = (0,0,0,0);
m_Type = aType;
m_RouteType = aRouteType;
m_StartPointRect = CRect(m_StartPoint.x-3, m_StartPoint.y-3, m_StartPoint.x+3, m_StartPoint.y+3);
m_EndPointRect = CRect(m_EndPoint.x-3, m_EndPoint.y-3, m_EndPoint.x+3, m_EndPoint.y+3);

TermRectRgnPts[0] = CPoint(m_EndPoint.x, m_EndPoint.y - RADIUS);
TermRectRgnPts[1] = CPoint(m_EndPoint.x + RADIUS, m_EndPoint.y);
TermRectRgnPts[2] = CPoint(m_EndPoint.x, m_EndPoint.y + RADIUS);
TermRectRgnPts[3] = CPoint(m_EndPoint.x - RADIUS, m_EndPoint.y);

m_RouteTermRect = CRect(m_EndPoint.x - RADIUS, m_EndPoint.y - RADIUS, m_EndPoint.x + RADIUS, m_EndPoint.y + RADIUS);

m_EnclosingRect = CRect(Start, End);
m_EnclosingRect.NormalizeRect();

m_StartPtScreenPct.XPercent = 0.0;
m_StartPtScreenPct.YPercent = 0.0;

here, you're creating and selecting "Pen", but doing a DeleteObject on aPen.

Minor mishap. With all the things I've been trying, I missed that. At any rate, I changed it and it's still usurping all of the GDI resources and not freeing them. Let me ask you this, do cursors take up GDI resources? I don't think they do, but I'm not sure.

i don't think so.

this is probably something really simple, but easy to overlook...

Hi Stew,

I am currently facing the same problem...did you solve it??. I noticed that GDI resource are returned properly to system after calling StrokePath() or StrokeAndFillPath().

My code

<br />
pDC->BeginPath();// GDI used<br />
pDC->MoveTo(some point);<br />
pDC->LineTo(another point);<br />
pDC->EndPath();<br />
pDC->WidenPath();<br />
HRGN hRgn=::PathToRegion(pDC->GetSafeHdc());<br />
::FillRgn(pDC->GetSafeHdc(),m_hLastSecondRgn,(HBRUSH)GreyBrush);<br />

This code doesn't return GDI resource...please help cause I have been stuck on this for quite some time now...
Regards
Mustafa

I am pretty sure MFC does a lot of caching which will make it that much harder to determine if/where you have a leak as the memory will not be releasing when you think it should.
May want to try straight Win32 first - if you haven't already.

yes as the title is saying i'm searching for a book that can give me enougth stuff for network code

i've one book :
Network Programming for Microsoft Windows, Second Edition

it help me learning about winsocks.
but as i want to learn about instant messaging or ftp server and plus someone advise me this book :

Internetworking with TCP/IP Vol. III Client-Server Programming and Applications-Windows Sockets Version

has someone read or heard about this book and can give me some advises it would be helpfull for me

or if you know a links for download online books it would be helpfull too

if you think that you can't , that means that you can : if you understand this there youn can

For instant messaging you can download the TOC specification from AOL.
It is their 'open source' protocol (as opposed to OSCAR their proprietary).
There are also a lot of open source projects that wrap the various IM protocols (AIM, Yahoo IM, MSN, ...).

Anyone knows a simple way to create a program which acts like a ms-dos TSR program, which doesn't appear minimized at the taskbar and doesn't appear the program's icon on the system tray? A program which will act exactly like a linux deamon. I trying to create a daemon which stays listening for incoming connection requests, and acts like a linux telnet deamon. Could you show me a code example just for that? Thanks.

Does anyone know how GetWindowExt function works?

I've written in my View class:
(in OnInitialUpdate)

CSize sizeTotal(1000, 1000);<br />
SetScrollSizes(MM_LOMETRIC, sizeTotal);

then somewhere in the program I write

CClientDC dc(this);<br />
OnPrepareDC(&dc);<br />
CSize size = dc.GetWindowExt();

And size.cy equals to -254!

Does anyone know the clue?

Well, I'm calling it in OnLButtonDown (just as a test). By this time the window is definitely already shown.
