Mac OpenGL 3.2 white screen

Hi Forum,

i try to set the Pixel Format for my NSOpenGLView.
But I only get a white screen.

    glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0);  // Bild blau
    glViewport(0, 0, (GLsizei) self.bounds.size.width, (GLsizei) self.bounds.size.height);

    // Render - Start
 
    glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
 
    glFlush();
 
    // Render - Ende
 
    CGLUnlockContext((CGLContextObj)[[self openGLContext] CGLContextObj]);
}
 
static CVReturn DisplayLinkCallback(CVDisplayLinkRef displayLink, const CVTimeStamp* now, const CVTimeStamp* outputTime, CVOptionFlags flagsIn, CVOptionFlags* flagsOut, void *displayLinkContext)
{
    return [(__bridge OpenGLView *)displayLinkContext getFrameForTime:outputTime];
}

The screen should be blue. glCloarColor(0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0)

You appear to be using double buffering, but you seem to never swap buffers.

I'm using Windows + have no objective c experience, but searching the internet I found this link: https://developer.apple.com/library/...LFlushDrawable , so looking at your code, perhaps instead of glFlush() you need to use something like:

CGLFlushDrawable([[self openGLContext] CGLContextObj]);

Thank you very much!!!
