Attach OpenGL to childwindows

I tried to post this under "Game Programming"... But noone seems to answer, so I try here...Maybe it fits better here.
Hang me if I break some forum-rules now :D


Is it possible to attach OpenGL to childwindows?
Or in any easy way, make a OpenGL interact only as a part of a bigger WIN32API program..?

Sure. All windows are created using the CreateWindow() API's. If you know how to do for parent windows, then you know how to do it for child windows.

Cross-posting is typically frowned upon (as is bumping your own threads); most cprog regulars read/skim most new posts/threads and will respond to what they want to. For future reference, rather than cross-post just pm one of our local, friendly neighbourhood mods and politely request that they move the original, possibly misplaced thread to a more appropriate board.
