Monitor EOutOfResourcesError

Asked by squarewheel in Delphi Programming Language

Tags: Borland, Delphi, 7, Delphi, 7

Hi there,

I have developed a Delphi 7 application and I am starting to receive EOutOfResourcesError errors from the users in the field.  My gut tells me that I am leaking memory, since the application is used heavily over a long period of time.  I need to find the cause of the error.  Could you perhaps give some advice?

Is there a value that I can monitor to see a decrease over time?  I understand that the EOutOfResourcesError shoudl only occur when I run our of windows handles, but that is no longer applicable (post WinXP??)
Would looking at MemAvail help at all? - Surely the system would start swapping if the we are out of memory?

I suppose I could:
a) Use a memory leak utility?  

Any help will be great!
