Hi all,

i m working on Dialog based application,

here diffreant types of controls placed over the dialog box like,Edit box,static box,button,list elc.
some dialog boxes popup on button clicked.

after some time using of application its becomes so slow,even if i restore it from minimize state its take some time to display the controls of dialog box.

and the memory usage of application increase and increase.

please tell me how can i reduce the memory usage of application,and make it stable wheather its use or long time,

please tell me how can i resolve the problem of slow responding or not responding.

thanks in advance.

Try Googling "memory leaks".

As Steve suggested, your application probably doesn't perform well the necessary cleanup, i.e. keeps allocating new objects without calling delete on the 'dead' ones.
Correct handling of dynamic memory is one of the major duties of the C/C++ developer.

Build a debug version, start its debugging (F5),
then close the app and observe the output window in VS.

Usually you can even jump to the source, like ... = new ...,
just by a double click at a "memory leak" line there Smile | :)

Was it an output of the Debug vesrsion (configuration) of your application ?
When yes - there are no direct references to the classical memory leaks (by new).

However it would be possible (for example),
that you do not release other kinds of the resources,
such as HPEN, HFILE, HXXX... ,
or you initialize something twice without releasing... Smile | :)

You could try to analyze the code (subject: symmetry of allocation/deallocation),
or use the special tools (when your code is to big for you to analyze)... Smile | :)
