Re: GDI Object leak when connected using mstsc?
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:

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:
