Hi everyone,
I’m a newbie to opengl so I appreciate any help with the program below. (Sorry if this post appears twice. IE shut down when I first try to post this message.)
I have a problem getting the following program to display the string “abc” immediately. When I first run the program, the window is blank (white). Only after I toggle the opengl window another, then the string “abc” appears.
Thanks.
