This is not normal and expected behavior. Giving the owner of a GDI object to a control should not create a new GDI object instance. Doing so you seem to really make a copy of the GDI object and assign that copy to the control. Why?

Antonio, I agree with Enrico, this does seem to be redundant.

Enrico, it is good to see you back.

Enrico, James,

The GDI object is not created again. Thats the purpose of the counter: to reuse the same GDI objet and thus reduce GDI consume.

When we assign it, we increase the counter. When we End() it, then we decrease the counter. So the same GDI object is used again and again until the counter reaches zero, then the GDI object is finally released (DeleteObject())

Yes, but you are still making a copy of the GDI object, at least from a logical point of view. Why not just assign the already created GDI object to the related data member of the control?
