Thread: OpenGL, problem creating rendering context

Hi all,

I've been trying OpenGL for a few days now. I currently have a problem with my rendering context.

I am following NeHe's tutorial at :
NeHe Productions: Creating an OpenGL Window (Win32)

I use the following header files and global variables :

Code:

#include "StdAfx.h"
#include <gl/GL.h>
#include <gl/GLU.h>
#include <gl/GLAUX.h>
#include <tchar.h>

HGLRC	hRC=NULL;
HDC		hDC=NULL;
HWND	hWnd=NULL;
HINSTANCE	hInstance;

This is the part of the code that seem to be the problem, if it comes from the code at all.

Code:

        if(!(hDC=GetDC(hWnd)))
	{
		KillGLWindow();			// Reset the display
		MessageBox(NULL,_T("Can't create a GL Device Context."), _T("ERROR"), MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
		return FALSE;
	} 



	if(!(PixelFormat=ChoosePixelFormat(hDC,&pfd)))
	{
		KillGLWindow();
		MessageBox(NULL,_T("Can't find a suitable pixelformat."), _T("ERROR"),MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
		return FALSE;
	}


	if(!(hRC=wglCreateContext(hDC)))
	{
		KillGLWindow();
		MessageBox(NULL,_T("Can't Create a GL Rendering Context."),_T("ERROR"),MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
		return FALSE;
	}


	if(!wglMakeCurrent(hDC,hRC))
	{
		KillGLWindow();
		MessageBox(NULL,_T("Can't Activate the GL Rendering Context."),_T("ERROR"),MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
		return FALSE;
	}

I get the "Can't Create a GL Rendering Context." message box...

Any clue?

-_- what a shame, Can't even follow a tuto correctly... This is what happen when you learn overnight.

Thank you soo much Fordy, I was missing this one line.
