Title: anyway to set the version sf:Context is created against?
Post by: mercurio7891 on April 30, 2011, 09:19:43 pm

Is there anyway to set the sf::Context to be created to a specific opengl version?? For e.g 4.0 or maybe 2.1

regards

Nop. But you shouldn't need that, sf::Context creates a dummy context, not a context which is used for actual rendering.

if i try to load the 3.0 functions and above with glew within a sf::Context, it always fail. Hence I was wondering how to go about doing it.

Code: [Select]


sf::ThreadContext //stay alive for the duration of the thread

glewInit();

do some uploading of vbo, texture etc.


The actual render context is on another thread and is not exposed out

I see. That's a valid point.
