Calling openGL functions in Dialogbased application (vc++)

Hi, I am new to OpenGL. I have one Dialog based application with few button controls created using VC++. Each buttion is named with the item to be executed in OpenGL. For example (Earth&moon)button should use OpenGL to show Earth and moon demo. How can I do it? Which function should I call and where (in my dialog based application)should I call it. What files should I include in my application and where should I do it?
Can any one help me. Thanks.

I’ll assume you want the quick and dirty way to fire off an OGL context, as that you are using a dialog box generated from the VC++ wizards.

<begin hack job>
Create a button. On button down, do this:
system(“foo.exe”);
or whatever the name of the OGL app is.
Repeat for each button.
</end hack job>

Of course, if you want to butcher C++, why not do it all in VB? (It’s the same process as above.)
