1. RE: Repeatable Win32Lib 'Resource' Problem
Hi George,
I think that issue is an XP thing. I saw the same type of behavior when
I was working on Judith's IDE (working on the text editor). If I had
the editor open when I locked my computer, I'd return to a screen full
of those popups. I believe that problem is related to how locking a
computer in XP will lock out access to the DC of your window. Every
time the editor would try to flash the emulated cursor (handled by a
timer that kept running) while the system was locked, it would throw out
that warning until the system was unlocked again. I suspect that your
system gets locked in the same way before suspending.

Hi Derek,
You're welcome, and i hope you find this bug and find a simple fix.
I also tested two other libs after making a similar small demo,
as well as a stand alone project also with two buttons that uses
a font that was created within the application. I also made a
program to open up 30 instances of the same app to get this test
going over and over. One of the other libs was even the very
very old Win32Lib (from something like 1998 maybe?).
The only app that reverts to the system
font for some 3 to 4 buttons (after closing the app out) is the
more recent Win32Lib.
That means something a little more recent introduced the problem,
if that helps any.
Take care for now,
Al
