BuddyControl and UserControl_Terminate event

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Using a
PushButton with associate BuddyControl in a UserControl the
UserControl_Terminate event is only triggered when the program is unloaded.
Removing the association to the BuddyControl, the terminate event is triggered
when the form is unloaded - as expected.

A negative
side effect is that the GDI resources are not released, so that after some time
of work the windows limit for GDI handles (10,000) is reached. In regfree-com
the program exits with error 373 (Failed to load control ...) or the program
freezes or crashes.
Here is a short example project to demonstrate the effect (you need the taskmanager with the addional column "gdi objects")

	Was this ever fixed? I seem to be running into this with an UpDown control connected to a FlatEdit Control. It only causes this problem when it appears on a UserControl
