Without more detail, it's impossible to answer your question. What does the code look like? What's the app type? Modern app? WPF? Windows Forms? HTML5? Java?
...?

Sorry Dave.
I am working with windows form (desktop) with the C # language with OpenCV. and when I display a message using MessageBox.show () an error occurs: GDI + generic error. I use Windows 8 and the visual studio 2010.

this helps?

No. The only thing which could help is the code sample. You need to create one, complete but short; and it should clearly reproduce the problem.

sergey

the error occurs in a simple command line to display a message on the screen, using the C # language with visual studio 2010 on windows 8.
line of code is:

MessageBox.Show ("System Training Held Successfully!", "Training", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);

and the error message is:

Generic GDI + error.

does not show anything ...

I just pasted your line into a button click handler and press the button - the message box showed up fine, with no error.
So, taking my lead from your "simple command line" I tried it in a Console app. After adding the System.Windows.Forms assembly, and the appropriate using statement, it worked fine again.

So it must be something else in your code, and the symptom is only showing up when you display the message box.
Without more detail of your code, there really isn't anything we can do to help you!

Command line?! Where is a command line here?
