Embedding an OpenGL window in a Render Window

[eawerbaneth]

Hi,

I'm having a little trouble decoding how you are supposed to embed an OpenGL window inside another window. I didn't have any luck looking for an example, and what I'm trying right now crashes upon running.

Here's what I have:

sf::RenderWindow control_window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "Sculptor");

sf::Window openglwindow;
sf::WindowHandle handle = control_window.GetSystemHandle();
openglwindow.Create(handle);

 

Is this the correct way to do this? Also, how would I then specify a size for the OpenGL window?

Thanks in advance!

You can't embed a SFML window into another SFML window. Why do you want to do this?

I'm trying to make my own SFML GUI for an OpenGL project that I'm also using SFML to display. I read something about being able to display 2-D SFML graphics over an OpenGL window and that I could find this in the "OpenGL sample project", but I haven't been able to find any links to that. What is the correct way of doing this?

* I'm using SFML 2.0, by the way.

You don't have to create another physical window, you can mix SFML and OpenGL in the same window.

You can find the OpenGL example in the SFML SDK.

Will do. Thanks for your help!
