I think GDI is using session space to allocate its objects, which is IIRC
256 MB.

Yes. Physical memory has nothing to do with it. Apparently GDI uses a
shared allocation
strategy (which I think is a colossal blunder), and it is common run out
of resources
under heavy graphics load conditions.

news:%23mpAbs3UIHA.1208@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl...
is it possible that my Windows XP with 1024 MB Ram
can run out of GDI objects so that any control on my
systems doesnt display any text no more? This is what
sometimes happens on my system, when it is under heavy
Graphics load (lots of Windows and Controls that are
really under heavy usage/modification)?
It seems strange to me... do you properly do GDI cleanup in your
application
when a GDI object is no more needed?
