Summary:
When the SetMetaFileBits() function succeeds, the memory handle
parameter specified in the hMem call is reused by Windows; the
application cannot use the handle for any purpose, including passing
the handle to GlobalFree().
On page 4-387 of the "Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit
Reference Volume 1," the comments section of the documentation for
SetMetaFileBits() states:
After the SetMetaFileBits() function returns, the metafile handle
returned by the function should be used instead of the handle
identified by the hMem parameter to refer to the metafile.
To avoid any confusion, change "should be used" to "must be used" in
the above sentence.
When the metafile is no longer required by the application, pass the
new handle, returned from SetMetaFileBits(), to GlobalFree().
