Then don't use glut. You need to set up an OpenGL rendering context and make it current.

You can not mix GLUT and Windows API, GLUT is for stand alone appications with out windows specific functions like menu's and button's.

Go to a site like nehe.gamedev.net and look at how they setup gl in a windows specific type window.

Inside your window you will have to create a contex in which openGL can draw to.
