Detected memory leaks

Question

In my wxWidgets application, while running in debug mode i got this message in Output of Visual Studio 2010. The application ran fine, and i only saw this after closing it.

Answer 1

This wiki suggests adding the following to every source file you have, after all other header include's:

#ifdef __WXMSW__
    #include       // redefines the new() operator 
#endif

This will result in leaks being reported when your program ends.

More specifically, make sure you call ->Destroy() on all objects you create using new (except maybe your top window).
