I am trying to create an opengl window on a win98 system and when wglMakeCurrent() gets called the application hangs. It seems that wglMakeCurrent() never returns from the call.
The application doesn’t use MFC and is single-threaded. Any ideas?
code:
BOOL CreateGLWindow(char* title, int width, int height, int bits, bool fullscreenflag)
{
GLuint PixelFormat; // Holds The Results After Searching For A Match
WNDCLASS wc; // Windows Class StructureDWORD dwExStyle; // Window Extended Style
DWORD dwStyle; // Window StyleRECT WindowRect;
WindowRect.left=(long)0;
WindowRect.right=(long)width;
WindowRect.top=(long)0;
WindowRect.bottom=(long)height;static PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR pfd= // pfd Tells Windows How We Want Things To Be
{
sizeof(PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR), // Size Of This Pixel Format Descriptor
1, // Version Number
PFD_DRAW_TO_WINDOW | // Format Must Support Window

PFD_DOUBLEBUFFER, // Must Support Double Buffering

bits, // Select Our Color Depth

};
// Set The Global Fullscreen Flag
fullscreen=fullscreenflag;hInstance = GetModuleHandle(NULL); // Grab An Instance For Our Window
wc.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW | CS_OWNDC; // Redraw On Move, And Own DC For Window
