Is this a memory leak in MFC

Question

// CMyDialog inherits from CDialog 
void CMyFrame::OnBnClickedCreate()
{
    CMyDialog* dlg = new CMyDialog();
    dlg->Create( IDD_MYDIALOG, m_thisFrame );
    d         


        

Answer 1

If you manually call Create on a dialog, you have to manually Destroy it as well.
When using DoModal() this isn't necessary.

From MSDN:

Use the CWnd::DestroyWindow function to destroy a dialog box created by the Create function.
