Re: Excessive GDI objects under WIN32

I meant to say "not" :-) sorry.

It is just a wee bit excessive.

Not to try and compare apples to oranges but isqlw.exe (Microsoft's Query Analyzer for the god awful beast that is MS SQL Server) is in there as well with 4x the number of windows and its running with only 320 GDI objects. Since we have a team of 10 postgres servers (not currently replicated between each other) for an internal processing system, that I end up querying them one by one sometimes. With 10 windows, I have to remember to shut some stuff or suffer the missing menu disorder (a funny term I coined when you run out of gdi objects and button labels, menus, controls, etc start disapearing). However on my 64bit xp system (this one is a 32bit Win 2003 system in the pic), I have a limit of 300,000 gdi objects and even running under 32bit wow mode, I never see anything like that, but for the 32bit challanged, it can be a headache.

Do not debate this. Its windows. 1000 objects is far from excessive for this kind of app.
