Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 to develop a Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) application. The application uses a tabbed multiple-document interface (MDI) layout.
-
You run the MFC application on your computer.
-
While the application is running, you close the last document tab and then create a new document in the application.
In this scenario, the application unexpectedly consumes 10 additional Graphics Device Interface (GDI) handles. The GDI handle resource usage increases every time that you close the last document tab and then create new documents. This behavior may eventually cause a GDI handle leak.
Cause
This issue occurs because the GDI front handles are not released correctly by the MFC library when the last document tab is closed.
