'
GDI Total' and '
All GDI' columns
The '
GDI Total' column (a new column added on v1.05) displays the total number of all
GDI handles found in the
GDI table for the specified process. This means that '
GDI Total' column display the sum of the following columns: Pen, ExtPen, Brush, Bitmap, Font, Palette, Region,
DC, Metafile
DC, Enhanced Metafile
DC, and Other
GDI.
The 'All
GDI' value is taken from Windows
API call (GetGuiResources), and it usually contains a value larger than '
GDI Total', probably because it also counts some internal kernel
GDI objects that are not included in the
GDI objects table of the process.
Notice: If you have a problem that the 'All
GDI' value is increased, while there is no leak with the other
GDI values, it means that you probably have a leak in the creation of icons or cursors (Icons and cursors are created without destroying them later).
