Re: OpenGL MDI in win32 *annoying*

If you need to create a child...


"Child window" isn't the same as "MDI", and it's not
terribly clear what the OP wanted.

(2)

Any tool kit is bound to simplify GDI, and you could pick any of them.
I think the OpenGL preferred method would be GLUT.


GLUT doesn't do children or MDI...  :-)

(3) my personal preference is to execute the program as a console enabled
program, then output using normal print statements to that. Console
programs in Windows can open windows, do graphics, etc., just as a
normal executable can. The console attribute in the PE executable simply
assigns the program a console. This *should* allow cout use, but
the compiler/toolset you are using could be placing some barriers in
your way.


Use the "AllocConsole()" function to create a console
window for a Win32 application.

In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know
that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,'
and then they actually change their minds and you never
hear that old view from them again.  They really do it.
It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists
are human and change is sometimes painful.  But it happens
every day.  I cannot recall the last time something like
that happened in politics or religion.
