how avoid memory leaks?
from here: http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/bitmaps.html
i learned:

GetDC() - ReleaseDC()
BeginPaint() - EndPaint()
CreateCompatibleDC() - DeleteDC() 

i must get the old selected object. select it when isn't needed and then delete it.
so seen these constructor and desctructor:

image(const int width, const int height)
    {
        if (isimgused==true)
            delete img;
        isimgused=false;
        if(isGDIPLUSIniciated==false)
        {
            Gdiplus::GdiplusStartup(&m_gdiplusToken, &gdiplusStartupInput, NULL);
            isGDIPLUSIniciated=true;
        }
        SelectObject(hdcimage, obj);
        DeleteObject(btBitmap);
        DeleteObject(obj);
        DeleteDC(hdcimage);
        hdcimage = CreateCompatibleDC(NULL);
        btBitmap = CreateBitmap(width,height,1,32,NULL);
        obj = SelectObject(hdcimage, btBitmap);
        framecount=1;
        imageheight=height;
        imageweight=width;
    }

~image()
    {
        if(isimgused==true)
            delete img;
        if(isGDIPLUSIniciated==true)
            Gdiplus::GdiplusShutdown(m_gdiplusToken);
        SelectObject(hdcimage, obj);
        DeleteObject(btBitmap);
        DeleteDC(hdcimage);
    }

and these function:

void DrawHICONtoHDC(HDC hdc, HICON hIcon, int PosX=0, int PosY=0)
{
    BITMAP BMInf;
    ICONINFO    csII;
    GetIconInfo(hIcon, &csII);
    GetObject(csII.hbmColor, sizeof(BMInf), &BMInf);
    HDC MemDCExercising = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc);
    HBITMAP hBitmap=CreateBitmap(BMInf.bmWidth ,BMInf.bmHeight,1,32,0);
    HBITMAP oldbitmap =(HBITMAP) SelectObject(MemDCExercising, hBitmap);
    DrawIcon(MemDCExercising,0,0,hIcon);
    TransparentBlt(hdc, PosX, PosY, BMInf.bmWidth , BMInf.bmHeight, MemDCExercising, 0, 0,BMInf.bmWidth , BMInf.bmHeight,GetPixel(MemDCExercising,BMInf.bmWidth-1,BMInf.bmHeight-1) );
    SelectObject(MemDCExercising,oldbitmap);
    DeleteDC(MemDCExercising);
    DeleteObject(oldbitmap);
    ::DeleteObject(csII.hbmColor);
    ::DeleteObject(csII.hbmMask);
    DestroyIcon(hIcon);
    DeleteObject(hBitmap);
}

what i'm doing wrong?
from a windows tool: the HDC, HBITMAP, HPEN, HBRUSH continue been created, instead delete the old one when isn't needed

I'm using Valgrind or Deleaker for such cases. Any GDI leaks profiler will help you. :)
