RE: [Dev-C++] Re: Weird dialog corruption?

Correction to previous post: somebody wrote (in a flawed tutorial) that =
the
API would avoid creating duplicate handles for a GDI resource. In this
instance, I was declaring several HFONT objects with CreateFont() as
dialog-scope variables, and forgetting to release them. I'm not sure =
where I
read that, or why I believed it, but it was back when I was first =
starting C
programming, and it didn't occur to me to look twice at it until today.

It was not the Win32 API that said that. I misspoke in my previous post; =
I
should read what I write before hitting that magic send button...

Which API is documented to releasing GUI resources without doing it?
