Hi

I'm cant seem to free the memory I've allocated for a string that I'm
using in an uneditable field. Here's how I'm initializing it:


char* PreTxGetReferences() {

	int refLength = 0;
	
	for(int i=0; i<RPProstogram::numReferences; i++) 
		refLength += StrLen(RPProstogram::references[i]);
	
	refLength += RPProstogram::numReferences * 2;
	
	char* refStr = new char[refLength + 1];
	
	StrCopy(refStr, "");
	
	for(int i=0; i<RPProstogram::numReferences; i++) { 	
		StrCat(refStr, RPProstogram::references[i]);
		StrCat(refStr, "\n\n");	
	}
	
	return refStr;
}

the string returned by this method is used in the following to set the
field value:

void SetFieldHandle(FieldType* field, char* textPtr) {
	
	//FieldType* field = GetObjectPtr<FieldType>(fieldName);
	Err err;
  	MemPtr p;
  	MemHandle h = FldGetTextHandle(field);

 	 if (h) {
    	      FldSetTextHandle(field, NULL);
    	       err = MemHandleResize(h, StrLen(textPtr) + 1);
    	       if (err != 0) {
        	      FldSetTextHandle(field, h);
        	     //return err;
        	     return;
    	        }
  	} else {
    	h = MemHandleNew(StrLen(textPtr) + 1);
    	if (!h)
      	//return memErrNotEnoughSpace;
      	return;
  	}
  	p = MemHandleLock(h);
  	StrCopy((char*)p, textPtr);
  	MemHandleUnlock(h);
  	FldSetTextHandle(field, h);
        FldDrawField(field);
    	return;


}

and here's how I'm trying to deallocate it when the form closes:

void ReferencesFormCleanup() {
	
	FormType* frmP = FrmGetActiveForm();
	FieldType* field = (FieldType*) FrmGetObjectPtr(frmP,
FrmGetObjectIndex(frmP, ReferencesRefsField));
	/*
	MemHandle fldHandle = FldGetTextHandle(field);
	
	if(fldHandle != NULL && MemHandleUnlock(fldHandle) !=
memErrInvalidParam) {
			MemHandleFree(fldHandle);
	}
	*/
	MemPtr refs = FldGetTextPtr(field);
	
	if(refs != NULL && MemPtrUnlock(refs) != memErrInvalidParam) {
			MemPtrFree(refs);
	}
}

I've tried using both the commented out MemHandle block and the MemPtr
block below it. Both give the same error - SysFatalAlert, MemoryMgr.c
line 4359 Free handle. When I dont deallocate the string I get an
error from the emulator when I try to close the program saying that
there was a memory leak detected. When I take out the MemPtrUnlock and
MemHandleUnlock calls I still get the same error. What am I doing
wrong here? Thanks in advance for any advice.
