... are never released. Here is a test. Add checkres() to the end of your app. Open the app, then immediately close it. Ideally, there should be no unreleased resources in the file, but if there are, just ignore them for now. Keep a copy of the checkres() file. Now, run the app again and perform ...

Antonio,

I am still getting the same unreleased resource with FWH 10.8.

I note that the BITMAP.PRGs for 10.7 and 10.8 are identical.

I am running Borland FWH, xHarbour and XP Pro.

Thanks, Daniel, now if we can just the function I described, we will be able to troubleshoot these unreleased resources easily. Actually, after I thought about it more, it would be valuable to have access to the array containg this data. Then we could store the array before ...

... Otto, I'm not sure what I am seeing. Is the second column the windows handle? What is the last column? Do we need to just count the listed items (unreleased items) before entering a routine and then again after? If so, then perhaps it would help if we had another function that would just return ...

... care of those GDI objects even if we don't explicity release them, when the app finsihes. Even though they will be cleaned up when the app ends, unreleased GDI objects can become a problem if the app is run for a long time. So for such apps as order entry, reservations systems, etc. which may ...

Uwe, Important: Everytime that you call to <oControl>:GETDC(), after that, you have to call <oControl>:ReleaseDC(), or you keep an unreleased hDC, thus consuming GDI resources. I see from your code that you use a bitmap control on top of the window, to show a bitmap. You can directly ...

... application can be copied to, and loaded from any drive or folder. I have been in contact with the developer and I am currently using an as yet unreleased version which includes a couple of my suggestions. There are a few other changes in the works.

Birol,

xharbour creates such log file when there is some unreleased memory in your application.

You should try it with the most recent xharbour build 0.99.61
