SFML2 SetActive() Failed to activate window context

[mercurio7891]

Hi, I create a simple app and in the main loop when i do

App.SetActive(true);

glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

App.Display();

App.SetActive(false);

When running, it output on the console "Failed to activate window context". If I comment away App.SetActive(false); everything is normal.

Why is it that calling App.SetActive(false) would produce that error? Is there a change in the proper usage of SetActive() in SFML2.0?

P.S: this problem did not appear in SFML1.6

regards.

Can you please show a complete code that I can test?

Here is the code. I took most of the code from the opengl tutorial for sfml1.6
