Debugging a GDI objects leak

Targets Windows
1

Hello,

My application grabs screenshots, transforms them as JPEG strings and sends them over TCP/IP. On the Windows side, when viewing the task manager, the “GDI objects” column (hidden by default) keeps increasing until my app finally gets Nil Object exceptions (the limit of GDI handles is reached).
In my code, there’s no clear pictures leakage: I don’t use arrays to hold a serie of pictures; only local variables that will go out of scope and global ones that only hold a single picture. Also, the runtime.ObjectCount doesn’t increase that much.
I can’t reproduce it with a simple project, so I have to debug mine. I have no idea how to debug that. Looking for advices.

How do you grab the screenshot?

I’m using the MBS plugin’s ScreenshotDisplayMBS function for that.

I have finally found the method where the GDI objects are created widely. However, I don’t know how it’s wrong. It’s a method I wrote to retrieve the mouse cursor shape. Is there something obviously wrong in it?

P.S.: sorry for the indentation: it’s correct when I edit my post, not when I publish it.
