Frequently asked question
The MFC samples with MapObjects show memory leaks. How do I fix this?
Answer
An incorrect method is currently used to create fonts in several of the MFC samples in MapObjects 2. These errors are noticeable specifically in the following files:\CGuide\Step 10 - Printing and Preview\EasyMapView.cpp
\CGuide\Step 9 - Event Tracking\EasyMapView.cpp
\Common\MapHelper.cpp
Your code should resemble the following snippet:
Code:
CMoFont fnt;
// similar to CreateDispatch
fnt.InitializeFont();
fnt.SetName(TEXT("Wingdings"));
CMoSymbol sym(tLayer.GetSymbol(0));
sym.SetColor(moRed);
sym.SetStyle(moTrueTypeMarker);
sym.SetFont(fnt);
sym.SetSize(12);
sym.SetCharacterIndex(221);
fnt.ReleaseFont();
In sum, the following line of code..
Code:
sym.SetFont(fnt.GetFontDispatch());
should be replaced with ..
Code:
sym.SetFont(fnt);
