What platform are you working on?

The simplest solution is to switch to a different windowing framework. There are a number of useful libraries which support various different functionalities and platforms.

i programing in windows
where can i find these librarys from?
and which of my questions where you answering?

Both questions.

Cpw

GLFW

FreeGLUT

FLTK

Or check the opengl.org listings for Frameworks .

My personal favorite is Cpw, but hey, I wrote that library. It supports everything your looking for. The code is free and well commented so if your looking for good example code it’s a good place to start as well.
