Setting Resized bitmap file to an MFC Picture Control

Question

Is there an easier way to do it than this, and if this is the only way, are there any potential memory leaks here?

    CImage img1;
            int dimx = 100, dimy = 100;
    img1.Load(filename);
    //filename = path on local system to the bitmap

    CDC *screenDC = GetDC();
    CDC *pMDC = new CDC;
    pMDC->CreateCompatibleDC(screenDC);

    CBitmap *pb = new CBitmap;
    pb->CreateCompatibleBitmap(screenDC, dimx, dimy);

    CBitmap *pob = pMDC->SelectObject(pb);
    pMDC->SetStretchBltMode(HALFTONE);
    img1.StretchBlt(pMDC->m_hDC,0, 0, dimx, dimy, 0, 0, img1.GetWidth(), img1.GetHeight(), SRCCOPY);
    pMDC->SelectObject(pob);

    CImage new_image;
    new_image.Attach((HBITMAP)(*pb));
    //
    m_pictureCtrl.SetBitmap(new_image.Detach());
    ReleaseDC(screenDC);

I see no need for the CImage new_image (as SetBitmap takes a HBITMAP which you already have through pb) and pb and pMDC must be deleted (after detaching the HBITMAP), but for the rest it seems correct.

CImage img1;
int dimx = 100, dimy = 100;
img1.Load(filename);
//filename = path on local system to the bitmap

CDC *screenDC = GetDC();
CDC mDC;
mDC.CreateCompatibleDC(screenDC);
CBitmap b;
b.CreateCompatibleBitmap(screenDC, dimx, dimy);

CBitmap *pob = mDC.SelectObject(&b);
mDC.SetStretchBltMode(HALFTONE);
img1.StretchBlt(mDC.m_hDC, 0, 0, dimx, dimy, 0, 0, img1.GetWidth(), img1.GetHeight(), SRCCOPY);
mDC.SelectObject(pob);

m_pictureCtrl.SetBitmap((HBITMAP)b.Detach());
ReleaseDC(screenDC);

Of course I would put the scaling of the CImage/CBitmap into a separate function (make it reusable).
