menus in OpenGL using gtk libraries

[abeysiriwardana]

How can I create a window with menus, inside which objects using OpenGL programing should be displayed.

There's gtkglarea or its concurrent which I forget its name (however you could make a quick seek here to find it easily).

They (at least gtkglarea) provide programming tools to create a gl displayable window.

To find them, seek them on any good internet seek engine.

Hope this helps.

Hello there!

I would recommend you http://gtkglext.sf.net. There you'll find GtkGlExt (ANSI C binding for OpenGL/gtk+) and GtkGlExtMM (C++ binding based on the former). Those binding for gtk+ are for more serious application development. I'm not sure, but I heard/read here and there, that GtkGlExt will soon become the official OpenGL-binding for gtk+. I hope this helps.
