1. Create a new form for displaying OpenGL output.
2. Retrieve the HDC of that form by using
HWND hwnd=FormX->Handle;
HDC dc=GetDC(hwnd);
3. Fill out a PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR-struct.
4. int i=ChoosePixelFormat(dc,&pfd);
5. SetPixelFormat(dc,i,&pfd);
6. HGLRC glrc=wglCreateContext(dc);
7. wglMakeCurrent(dc,glrc);
Now you are ready to render your polygons...
8. When terminating call the following
functions to free the stuff you allocated
earlier.
wglDeleteContext(glrc);
ReleaseDC(hwnd,dc);

By the way: instead of using a form you may
use ANY visible object that has an HWND Handle property.
Hope it helped...
