dotnet and opengl

Hi,

I want to use (Visual C++) .NET and OpenGL.

Are there any known problems or limitations?

And can anyone tell me where to get some
examples?

TIA,

Ralf

Hmm. The .Net compiler is generally regarded to be MS' best C/C++ compiler
so I doubt you'll find a major shortcoming. If you encounter specific
problems or compiler error messages that you don't understand you are
welcome to post here or in vc.language.
And can anyone tell me where to get some
examples?


I'd start reading here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...start_9uw5.asp

That page has a link to a sample:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...lport_0b71.asp

and then I'd try to find a graphics group (there are several MS ones) or an
OpenGL group (I don't think that there is one hosted by MS) on the net.

I'm using dot net and opengl without any problems. Use the Handle member of
the control (eg panel to display in) to get your native HWnd and then setup
your rendering context as usual and all is fine.

I have a problem that I would like to get some advice on from other Pythonistas. I currently manage a (soon to be) open source project for displaying molecular graphics for a variety of different programs. To do this I need to draw pictures of the molecules, typically using OpenGL, and do some basic control, using some widget set. The code currently uses GTK, and runs on Macintosh OS X under Fink, and Linux. I would like to support the...

I'm creating a scientific visualization application with rather high demands on performance. I've created a nice rendering engine for it in C++/OpenGL and a python interface to the rendering engine. Now I'm looking to build a GUI in python with the rendering engine as an integrated window. I will most likely use wxPython for the GUI and I know it has support for adding an OpenGL canvas. After looking around in these groups and others it...

Hi, I'm developing a GUI app in Python/C++ to visualize numerical results. Currently I'm using Python 2.4 with wx and PyOpenGLContext, but there are no windows binaries for Python 2.5 for quite some time now. I need a OpenGL context without restrictions and some settings dialogs. Is wx + PyOpenGL the way to go? Or could somebody recommend a better set of tools/libs?

Hey, i am trying to develop a game, and I am using OpenGL and pthread. (on Ubuntu, so i also use the X library.) Now i have a problem. I have initialized OpenGL in the main thread, and i want to repaint 30 times every second (the usual framerate). Now i programmed a timer, which was able to wait for 30/1000 seconds. That happens in another thread, and after the delay (nanosleep, from the time.h header), it calls the paint() function. And...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
