Back to On-Topic: @PizzaProgram If I were you, I would check the creation and destruction of ressources. It's mentioned already -- heading over the stream of messages led me to the fact it may got lost. Concentrate on the image/ressource creation and destruction - not on strings and ICS in the first place. GDI has been a problem in my company since MFC got popular (I know that MFC is not Delphi, but they share some problems - mostly hard to find bugs). Reuse your resources, resize if memory is a concern, do not recreate them. If this helps, you know how to keep the business running and you won time to solve the real problem. GDI and non-UI Threads are "special" friends... If I'm completely wrong, slap me.

I apologize for being that dumb about my coding environment. Never the less, I think "UTF-8 is always one Byte per Char" is confusing if it comes to Unicode. But you clarified, so I go in shame and keep quite. 🖖
