show Image with CImage - Debug assertion failed
Manuel Hoeger
I tried to show a png Image using CImage ( Visual Studio 2008 prof )
It works pretty good, but only in Release Mode. If I run it in Debug Mode
there is a Message:
"Debug Assertion Failed!
Program: ....[..]\application.exe
File: g:[...]\atlimage.h
Line: 503
Expression: m_hbitmap == 0
[..]
if I ignore the message the picture is schown. How can I avoid this Failure
My Code:
BOOL OK;
LPCTSTR lpBitSource=_T("D:\\Daten\\Visual Studio
2008\\Projects\\LitLaunchTestbox\\LitLaunch\\brett1.png");
CRect rect;
GetClientRect(&rect);
CWindowDC pDC(this);
CDC dc;
OK=m_Image.Load(lpBitSource);
dc.CreateCompatibleDC(&pDC);
m_Image.Draw(pDC.m_hDC,CRect(&rect));
Thanks for answers.

call.
Try calling "m_Image.Destroy()" after you are done with your drawing
or just before calling "m_Image.Load()" in your code above.

You will want to support any images that you create with the CImage class
(or any other GDI+ functions) otherwise you will get resource leaks.

It is pretty clear what this means. It means that the m_hBitmap member of the class MUST
be NULL, and it ISN'T NULL. Why not? Because you already have an image attached to it!
Nowhere did I see where m_Image is freeing the image.
Which leads to the question of why, in your OnDraw/OnPaint handler, you are storing the
image which you are just loading into a class member, instead of a local variable.

I presume the goal here is that this program will run correctly only today, on your
machine, and you never expect it to run anywhere else. Otherwise, hardwiring a path like
this in represents a serious problem.

Do you really want a window DC? Why? Wouldn't CClientDC dc(this) be more appropriate?

Once it is loaded, it is loaded forever, and any attempt to load it again generates the
error you see. You must explicitly delete this image with CImage::Destroy, e.g., after
you draw it, you must do
m_Image.Destroy();
but why does m_Image exist at all? A local variable would be perfect for this!

I am presuming this is in your OnDraw/OnPaint handler. If it isn't, all of the above code
is incorrect. It would be correct only if it were in the OnDraw/OnPaint handler.
