Windows SDK Graphics Problem

This CreatePen call is failing after repeated calls

HDC hDC;
hDC=GetDC(hWnd);

apen = CreatePen(PS_SOLID, 1, colorG[7]);
oldPen=(HPEN)SelectObject(hDC, apen);

...line drawing stuff...

ReleaseDC(hWnd, hDC);

Apparently a memory leak even with the release

C++.net is the compiler

Any thoughts?
