opengl graphics 1

[Leroy1981]

i have been able to render opengl graphics to a tpanel and
i wanted to make a new tpanel with this capability already
implemented but when i add this new tpanel to a form it says it has no parent window. this is my first attempt at component creation so it might be something simple.

Hi Leroy - I've just started using OpenGL & was wondering if you had any link to any stuff on it or any bokos you could reccommend?
Especially stuff on how to use it with Borland C++.
Cheers,

I have been working depeloping components too, but I had the same problem than u, but I tried with canvas.

I used many base class, but everyone says the same error

To lastcyborg::the reason i was getting that error was because i was trying to set up the device and rendering contexts in the component's constructor. just make a separate function for gl setup and it should be fine.
To biot023::I get most of my opengl info from nehe.gamedev.net. They have a massive forum to browse for just about anything you could think of. gametutorials.com
also has some really good opengl tutorials.
