Because only the last pen and brush that are created within the loop are being destroyed. Move the deletion of the pen and brush to the inside of the loop.

For example,

Code:

hFontPie = MakeFont(FontName,FontSize)
SelectObject hDC, hFontPie
 
....

 
FOR I=1 TO nosectors
  CUMUL = CUMUL + DA(I)
  xEnd = INT(Xcentre+Radius*COS(pi2 * CUMUL / TOTAL)+0.5)
  yEnd = INT(Ycentre-Radius*SIN(pi2 * CUMUL / TOTAL)+0.5)
  
  hPenPie = SelectObject(hDC, CreatePen(%PS_SOLID, 0, gColor(10)))
  
  hBrushPie = SelectObject(hDC, CreateSolidBrush (gColor(I)))
  
  PIE hDC, xLeft,yTop,xRight,yBottom, xStart, yStart, xEnd, yEnd
  
  xStart=xEnd: yStart=yEnd
  
  DeleteObject hPenpie
  DeleteObject hBrushpie
NEXT

DeleteObject hFontpie

Hi and thanks for the answer.

It helps for 4 of 6 GDI-OBJECT .It still increase by 2....

I am trying to find the other two but whithout succes .

Resource leaks are very easy to track down.
Any leaks that happen after the code is modified as shown is occurring elsewhere.
If possible, post the code in its entirety.

**Eddy Larsson** · 2 Dec 2007, 03:11 PM

Here cames the code. Most of it are not changed from original.
I have only modified the code by two timers,three buttons and a sub who create random date.
InvalidateRect are used to force updating of window in two places.

'   PIECHART.BAS for PBWin modified from Erik Christensen's original program

'   Remove the PostQuitMessage(0) commands in callback procedure when running the

You do not delete the pen and brush objects. This gives you 2 GDI leak points...

Also on exit you should restore the original object selection...

The correct(ed) version of PieChart Sub:

Code:

Sub PieChart(hDC As Long,nosectors As Long,sectorname() As String,sectorsize() As Single,XCentre As Long,YCentre As Long,radius As Long)
    Dim DA(10) As Single
    Dim gText(10) As Asciiz * 200

    Local hpenpie As Long

    Local xStart As Long, yStart As Long, xEnd As Long, yEnd As Long
    Local xText As Long, yText As Long, korr As Long
    Local xLeft As Long, yTop As Long, xRight As Long, yBottom As Long
    [b]Local hTemp As Dword[/b]
 
    For I=1 To nosectors
       gText(I)=sectorname(I)
    Next
 
    TOTAL=0
 
    For I=1 To nosectors
      DA(I) = sectorsize(i)
      TOTAL = TOTAL + DA(I)
    Next

    [b]hTemp = [/b]SelectObject (hDC, hFontPie)
 
    pi2=8*Atn(1)
    CUMUL=0
    korr=-11 ' empiric correction for height of characters. This may be improved.
    For I=1 To nosectors
      CUMUL = CUMUL + DA(I)
      pct=Int(100*DA(I)/TOTAL+0.5)
      xText = Int(Xcentre+(Radius-korr)*Cos(pi2 * (CUMUL - DA(I)/2) / TOTAL)+0.5)
      yText = Int(Ycentre-(Radius-korr)*Sin(pi2 * (CUMUL - DA(I)/2) / TOTAL)+0.5)
      If Cos(pi2 * (CUMUL - DA(I)/2) / TOTAL) >= 0 Then
        SetTextAlign hDC,%TA_LEFT ' text on right side of diagram
      Else
        SetTextAlign hDC,%TA_RIGHT ' text on left side of diagram
      End If
      gTex=gText(I)+" ("+LTrim$(Str$(pct))+"%)"
      TextOut hDC, xText, yText+korr, gTex, ByVal Len(gTex)
     Next
 
    xStart=Xcentre+Radius: yStart=Ycentre ' select starting point for pie pieces
    CUMUL=0
 
    For I=1 To nosectors
      CUMUL = CUMUL + DA(I)
      xEnd  = Int(Xcentre+Radius*Cos(pi2 * CUMUL / TOTAL)+0.5)
      yEnd  = Int(Ycentre-Radius*Sin(pi2 * CUMUL / TOTAL)+0.5)
 
      [b]hPenPie = CreatePen(%PS_SOLID, 0, gColor(10))
      SelectObject hDC, hPenPie
 
      hBrushPie = CreateSolidBrush (gColor(I))
      SelectObject hDC, hBrushPie[/b]

     DeleteObject hFontpie
End Sub

My mistake, I am a bit distracted at the moment.
Peter, a more correct vesion would be this

Code:

    hFontPie = SelectObject(hDC, MakeFont(FontName,FontSize))

....

    xStart=Xcentre+Radius: yStart=Ycentre ' select starting point for pie pieces
    CUMUL=0

    FOR I=1 TO nosectors
      CUMUL = CUMUL + DA(I)
      xEnd  = INT(Xcentre+Radius*COS(pi2 * CUMUL / TOTAL)+0.5)
      yEnd  = INT(Ycentre-Radius*SIN(pi2 * CUMUL / TOTAL)+0.5)

      hPenPie = SelectObject(hDC, CreatePen(%PS_SOLID, 0, gColor(10)))

      hBrushPie = SelectObject(hDC, CreateSolidBrush (gColor(I)))

      PIE hDC, xLeft,yTop,xRight,yBottom, xStart, yStart, xEnd, yEnd

      xStart=xEnd: yStart=yEnd
    
      DeleteObject SelectObject(hDC, hPenpie)
      DeleteObject SelectObject(hDC, hBrushpie)
     NEXT

    
     DeleteObject SelectObject(hDC, hFontpie)

This leaves the orginal pen and brush in the DC on exit.

**Michael Mattias** · 3 Dec 2007, 08:54 AM

At least for the hPenPie, that's the same for each iteration of the loop (CreatePen ()using gColor(10)). It's plumb silly to create and delete that for each iteration.. instead create once before the loop, delete once at end of loop.

And how many different hBrushPie are there? Is there really a different gColor(I) for each iteration? If many of those are the same, you could do an extra loop OUTSIDE the current loop and select only the "I" values for a given gColor().

**Eddy Larsson** · 3 Dec 2007, 10:41 AM

Piechart don't eat resources.

GDI-object don't increase anymore......It Works.

I used Dominic's code.

Thanks so much for your responses and code.

**Pierre Bellisle** · 10 Dec 2007, 04:45 PM

Hey, Eddy,
Also, if you do a lot of piecharts then you may have a look at
Rainer Morgen's site http://www.rmchart.com/ a designer is included...
