Re: [GD-Windows] Messed up windows after fullscreen

[Aaron H. <Vid...@ho...>]

Yep, setting a break point confirms that WM_CREATE is generated and
called within CreateWindow().  Wish I had a reasonable answer to why
OpenGL is initialized in WM_CREATE. However, that skeleton I sent seems
to always work fine.

Looking around, there seems to be a progression of messages delivered by
the OS when CreateWindow is called, and WM_CREATE is somewhere in the
middle.  Wish I could just walk through the OS code base and see what it
really does!

Good luck.
