Do we really need to reset DC selections?

[C3]

If you open the task manager and add the column "GDI objects" to the view you can see how the GDI objects for that process increases until the window freezes because of the GDI leak.

Hey, all these years and I had no idea you could do that (w/Task Manager). Thanks!

Hey! Pick a Process Explorer from Microsoft's Sysinternals Suite, you can see info about Handles (Peak Handles), GDI Handles and USER Handles.

Ackshooly, speaking of the clunkiness of the parm1 ... parm3 scheme where you have to figure out what the parms mean, what would be far better would be making the function a vararg function

Like this? Two brushes, a pen and a font (Times New Roman); check in Task Manager, columns user and Gdi objects, whether there's any leak.
