heres the scenario,
i have a GUI with a standard WinMain function
and a glut file with a main function
what would be the best way to call the glut file from the GUI if at all it is possible
for source code see my previous post
thanx in advance

I don't believe you can call glut's main the way you are thinking. This is like having two entry points to a program, and I don't think you can do that.
Rather, in order to achieve what I think you want to do, you need to generate a child window to render to, OR just setup your windows api window to render to . I looked at the code, and there's a lot of win32 stuff I don't understand, subsequently I can only give you a broad overview.
Just call main() but I wouldn't use the name main in your code. WinMain is effectively the new main for your program. It replaces the old DOS main(). Call it mainloop() or something else. Simply calling it from your GUI should work.
sorry bout the delay in replying to this, but been busy
okay, you mention calling mainLoop() or something like that but what parameters need to be passed into glutInit as it takes the parameters from main()
i have tried replacing them with (0,0) with no success
any help will be appreciated
