I am using OpenGL with Windows. How come when I use ChoosePixelFormat on a device context, ChoosePixelFormat returns a valid pixel format index, but SetPixelFormat fails on the exact same device context?

I used CreateCompatibleDC(0) to create my dc, then used CreateDIBitmap() to create a bitmap with the new DC, then selected bitmap into DC, then called ChoosePixelFormat(), then called SetPixelFormat(), which fails.

Here is my code (Delphi 5):

PROJECT SOURCE (OogleImageTest.dpr):
program OogleImageTest;

uses
//Forms,
OpenGL12,
Oogle in ‘…....\Units\Oogle.pas’,
OogleMisc in ‘…....\Units\OogleMisc.pas’;

{$R *.RES}

var
img: TOogleImage;
begin
InitOpenGL;

//Application.Initialize;
//Application.Run;

// If I change the next line to img := TOogleImage.Create; then the program works fine, but does not create a render context
img := TOogleRenderContext.Create;
try

finally
img.Free;
end;
end.

UNIT SOURCE (OogleMisc.pas):

unit OogleMisc;

interface
uses
Windows, OpenGL12
;

type
TOogleImage = class(TInterfacedObject)
protected
FDeviceContext: HDC;
FBitmap: HBITMAP;
FBitmapHeader: BITMAPINFOHEADER;

        FPrevBitmap: HBITMAP;

     public
        constructor Create; virtual;
        destructor Destroy; override;

  end;

  TOogleRenderContext = class(TOogleImage)
     protected
        FPixelFormat: PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR;
        FPixelFormatIndex: Integer;
        FRenderContext: HGLRC;

     public
        constructor Create; override;
        destructor Destroy; override;

  end;

begin
FDeviceContext := CreateCompatibleDC(0);
if FDeviceContext = 0 then raise Exception.Create(‘Oogle image was unable to create a device context’);

  with FBitmapHeader do begin
     biSize := SizeOf(FBitmapHeader);
     biWidth := 100;
     biHeight := -100;
     biPlanes := 1;
     biBitCount := 16;
     biCompression := BI_RGB;
  end;

  FBitmap := CreateDIBitmap(FDeviceContext, FBitmapHeader, CBM_INIT, nil, Unused, 0);
  if FBitmap = 0 then raise Exception.Create('Oogle image was unable to create an internal device-independent bitmap');

  FPrevBitmap := SelectObject(FDeviceContext, FBitmap);

end;

destructor TOogleImage.Destroy;
begin
try
if (FDeviceContext <> 0) and (FBitmap <> 0) then SelectObject(FDeviceContext, FPrevBitmap);

     if FBitmap <> 0 then DeleteObject(FBitmap);
     if FDeviceContext <> 0 then DeleteDC(FDeviceContext);
  finally
     inherited;
  end;

end;

constructor TOogleRenderContext.Create;
const
BitDepth = 16;
ZBufferBitDepth = 16;
begin
inherited;

  // Choose a pixel format to use when rendering to the device context
  with FPixelFormat do begin
     nSize := SizeOf(FPixelFormat);
     nVersion := 1;
     dwFlags := PFD_SUPPORT_OPENGL or PFD_DRAW_TO_BITMAP;
     iPixelType := PFD_TYPE_RGBA;
     cColorBits := BitDepth;
     cDepthBits := ZBufferBitDepth;
     iLayerType := PFD_MAIN_PLANE; // Ignored on recent implementations of OpenGL
  end;

  {$IFDEF OGLDEBUG}LogMsg('Choosing and setting a pixel format');{$ENDIF}
  FPixelFormatIndex := ChoosePixelFormat(FDeviceContext, @FPixelFormat);
  if FPixelFormatIndex = 0 then raise Exception.Create('Oogle render destination could not find a suitable matching pixel format for device context ' + IntToStr(FDeviceContext));
  if not SetPixelFormat(FDeviceContext, FPixelFormatIndex, @FPixelFormat) then raise Exception.Create('Oogle render destination was unable to set rendering pixel format for device context ' + IntToStr(FDeviceContext));

  FRenderContext := wglCreateContext(FDeviceContext);
  if FRenderContext = 0 then raise Exception.Create('Oogle render context was unable to create an OpenGL render context');

  if not wglMakeCurrent(FDeviceContext, FRenderContext) then raise Exception.Create('Oogle render context was unable to make its OpenGL render context the current context'); 

end;

destructor TOogleRenderContext.Destroy;
begin
try
if FRenderContext <> 0 then wglDeleteContext(FRenderContext);
finally
inherited;
end;
end;

end.

I can e-mail someone the correctly formatted version of the above code if necessary.
