WINDOWS
Summary:
An application developed for the Microsoft Windows graphical
environment must explicitly free the resources that a multiline edit
control uses in the following two situations:
1. Before sending the edit control a WM_SETHANDLE message to change
the text buffer, the application must first send a WM_GETHANDLE
message to the control to obtain a handle to the existing buffer.
When an application specifies a new text buffer, Windows does not
automatically free the existing buffer. To prevent memory loss, the
application must free the buffer by calling the LocalFree function.
2. If an application creates a font object and uses the WM_SETFONT
message to specify that an edit control should use that font, the
application must call the DeleteObject function to delete the font
object when it is no longer needed.
