Not seeing your code I can not tell for sure, but as you know any GDI object can cause this problem. Just because you use HRGNs extensively does not mean that is where the problem lies. I once had it with an icon in the title bar of a child window. One icon and it did not take long to have a couple hundred GDI objects just floating around. Look very carefully at all your GDI objects.
I do not know of a free tool that will point out which objects are leaking, so good luck in finding it.
You may be right
I may be crazy

This is the thing, there are no leaks. That code sample was placed on the very first line of my WinMain(), so no other objects are created and no DC's are present. The object does get deleted, but the count does not decrease to reflect the change. I have confirmed this by checking with "Task Manager" and the GetGuiResources() api call.
To detect memory leaks I am using Deleaker[^] which reports no errors.

For what it's worth I tried this (in a console app):
for ( int i=0; i<100; i++ )
{
HRGN hRgn = ::CreateRectRgn(0, 0, 10, 10);
::DeleteObject(hRgn);
Sleep(1000);
}
and watched the task manager. GDI Objects climbed to 9 (went from 4 at startup to 11 13) and stayed
there until the end.
I can't find any documentation on Windows caching these internally either 
Good luck!

Hello all,
I would like to solve a mystery:
If you have more that one keyboard layout they are displayed on the taskbar.
Every thread can change its language.
Now if you have a dialog which uses msrdp.ocx the language monitor is hidden.
How can you hide this monitor ??? or better how can you display it.
Can you get the current language for a prticular window that is not your process (this is what the language bar does)?
thanks

Ok, could someone please explain this to me. As it seems a manifest file is stopping my application from loading. And I'd like to make sure my machine isn't going crazy or that I'm not playing the retard today. Anyway, my app in question uses the following manifest...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity processorArchitecture="x86" version="5.1.0.0" type="win32" name="Colorz.exe"></assemblyIdentity>
<description>Colorz</description>
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly><assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*" processorArchitecture="x86"></assemblyIdentity></dependentAssembly>
</dependency>

</dependency>
</assembly>
The bolded line is cause the problems. Which I added to include xp themes for a native app. Simply removing it allows the app to run, but I don't have themes. I should mention that it's worked fine in the past so I'm hoping it doesn't mean something is messed up on my machine.
The app in question is Colorz[^] if you'd like to try to reproduce this. Could someone please shed some light on this.
TIA

Let me guess. You took the old VC6 workspace file, opened it in VC8 and let the conversion wizard do it's thing. And now you are trying to retofit XP themes into the app. My experience is that that does not work. It causes more headaches than it is worth. If you really want to upgrade the app then use the VC8 new app creation wizard to create a new app and then copy the source files over, and open the RC files as text and do a copy/paste with the resources. The conversion wizard just leaves way to much crap behind.

 Good guess.

I may very well do this, now and in the future. One thing that gets me is it did work before, using the same projects. It just stopped working and I'm hoping it wasn't due to my system getting messed up. It doesn't seem messed up so I don't know.

It probably never did work, just that with your old monitor you could not tell the difference.

I went ahead and created a new project, adding the files manually, etc. and it still doesn't work. Out of curiosity, does the themed Colorz run ok on your system?
Thanks for the help btw.

I downloaded the exe from your article and ran it. Everything does look ok. I took a screen shot so you can compare it to what you are seeing on your machine. http://www3.telus.net/pja/colorz.PNG[^]

Hi all friends
I want understand programmaticaly that a tab control I create on a dlg has TCS_SCROLLOPPOSITE style or not . If you know please share with me .
Thanks alot .

Use GetStyle() and check the style bit you are interested in.
if ((GetStyle() & TCS_SCROLLOPPOSITE) == TCS_SCROLLOPPOSITE)
{
}

But am not able to set the focus (cursor) on the searched item in the particular child window. i use the following code for the selected item selection:-
list.SetItemState(nItem, LVIS_SELECTED, LVIS_SELECTED);
list.EnsureVisible( nItem, FALSE);

Do you want to use ShowWindow?
|
|
|
|
|
any way! i just want to hide the childs so that the processing for them continues my graph(real time plotiing) does,nt stop ploting
|
|
|
|
|
Your code is true also you cna use of EnumChildWindows for get child windows and use of ShowWindow for hide them.

Hi
Can I viosualise Thread as
1. Multi-Tasking within a Process.
2. Some processing that is to/can be done OUT-OF-SEQUENCE inside a Process and is LIGHT-WEIGHTED is coded as thread.
That is what I all know about threads!
Hope to get some clear and enough info on it
Bye

A thread doesn't have to be light weight. Every app has at least one thread.

I suggest you get a good book or read a good article on threads, cause there is so much more to threads than those two lines.
