[Csgl-users] poll on OpenGLContext

[Lloyd D. <ll...@ga...>]

Hi fellow user,

I have a question to submit you before doing some work in my own way.

1st: on OpenGLContext:
---------------------------
I am currently rewritting the basic object in managed C++
this because:
    - it is much cleaner and easier to access/debug OS specific feature
    - I am commited to because it will greatly help me for (coming) OpenGL
extension

mmhh.. It appear I will make a few modification to OpenGLContext object.
does it bother some of you ?

what I plan:
Remove access to PIXELFORMAT descriptor structure (it is not mulitplatform
and who knows ?...)
Instead I will let the user the opportunity to set:
    - RGBA or COLORINDEX mode
    - DOUBLEBUFFER or not
    - support GDI or not
    - color depth
    - z-buffer depth

is that ok for you ?
any comment ?

btw I will try to let you create context on printer and bitmap....

2nd on OpenGLControl:
---------------------------
here it is more a fact than a question, I just let you know that I plan to
make a per thread automatic instanciation of OpenGLContext by the
OpenGLControl.
Though I have some hesitation to add, instead, an "Ungrab()" method (in the
context), but I believe I can't (I can't rememeber but I believe I already
test it without success)
