QT integration and OpenGL 3.x

[Peixinho]

Hi,

I don't know if this is the right place to post about this subject, but I'm trying to integrate my opengl project into QT using SFML.
I'm using SFML 1.6 and I based my code on the QT tutorial on the website.
What I've noticed is that opengl fixed function is working really well, and on Opengl 3.x the GL context breaks, on windows it crashes and says that its repainting recursively, on linux it just crashes.

Thanks in advance

What's the purpose of using SFML here? Qt (not QT -- unless you really meant QuickTime) can handle OpenGL nicely without another external library.

True, but I have my little engine based on SFML, and since I saw that QT was supported by SFML...
Maybe that's another option

I integrated SFML in a MFC window for my editor once. I guess that's what you are trying to do.

If using Qt window interface and SFML rendering is actually what you want, you must do something like this (its code using MFC, but i will do something similar in Qt)

Code: [Select]

m_RenderingContext = new sf::RenderWindow ();
sf::WindowHandle MyH = m_hWnd;// GetSafeHwnd();
m_RenderingContext->Create (MyH);

So basically I'm just getting window handle (which in this case is a part of my application window using to display OpenGL), and letting SFML initialize it just like a normal window.

//Edit: I thought i might add some more

Its actually implementation of the CChildView class of MFC, which should have its equivalent in Qt;

Also, i modified the OnPaint event to:

Code: [Select]

m_RenderingContext->Clear (sf::Color (0, 0, 0, 255));
/* Drawing code goes here */
m_RenderingContext->Display();

Thanks for your replies, will try to solve the problem
