Re: GDI Object leak when connected using mstsc?

 

Hi,

 

When connected via Remote Desktop a different video

driver is active. When you disconnect the active desktop

is switched to the Disconnect desktop object, which is a

dummy object that prevents rendering.

 

Does this issue occur if your application is running on Vista?

 

Have you tested the two hotfixes below:

 

A GDI handle leak occurs in Windows XP and in Windows

Server 2003 when an application frequently calls the

CreateRectRgn function

 

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939884

 

MFC applications leak GDI objects on computers that are

running Windows XP

 

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319740

 

The article below may assist you in tracking down the source

of the leak:

Tools for Windows XP

I recommend contacting PSS for help solving this issue. If

you are an MSDN subscriber you could use one of your

included technical support incidents. If not and this turns

out to be a bug in windows you will not be charged.

 

Another newsgroup you may want to consider is:
