GDI objects and memory leaks

[Lindsay]

Apologies if this is the wrong group.

How does one go about stopping memory leaks? I'm using XP with VS 7.1 (C++
standard). The app I have uses a dialog box as it's gui. Using Task Manager,
I notice the GDI objects count getting higher and higher everytime I close
and re-open the dialog box. Is this normal? I've gone through the code and
made sure I've deleted objects but the count keeps getting higher. Is there
software that would tell me what the objects are? Or is there another way?

Try asking in:
microsoft.public.win32.programmer.gdi
-or-
microsoft.public.platformsdk.gdi.

Sounds like you are leaking resources, rather than memory.
