[Plib-users] IJW and plib

[Tinoshi K. <ti...@li...>]

Hi,

I've been using PLIB in many C++ projects, but now I have to develop an 
application that is C# based for the GUI (WindowsXP), and needs some OpenGL 
capable UserControl. I'm simply using a homemade C# wrapper for opengl32.ddl 
and glu32.dll, and it is ok for something, but right now the application is 
growing complex and, before rewriting my own scenegraph and stuff, I'd like 
to ask you something.
Do you think that there is an 'easy' way to use PLIB with .NET managed 
application (without writing a wrapper for all the PLIB, that is crazy 
:-) )... I was thinking about It Just Works, but I do not know if this is 
the right approach, or if It Just Doesn't Make Sense ... What I need is to 
create a managed .dll, that is nothing but a UserControl, and that in the 
OnPaint method uses PLIB... The guy that is developing the GUI part will not 
even know that I'm using C++ or PLIB instead of C#, he will just use the 
control as he would do for any other Windows Form Control.
Any idea?
Second question, that is probably a little bit more out of topic, so please 
forgive me but... Is there any way (Windows API, OpenGL) to set up custom 
graphic card settings? I mean,  to tell the graphic card to use x2 Antialias 
or something like that??? Do drivers export some common interface for things 
like these??? I just don't want to tell the user: open your graphic card 
settings and check the antialiasing button to enable it... Do you think I 
can do that (again, I'm talking about Windows and nothing more :-) ) in an 
easy way?

Thanks!!!
