Please help 2 days stuck, simple openGL app doesn't render anything!

Here is a link to my vs11 express project.

http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/421749/OpenGLSpaceShip.7z

All it does is render the clear color it doesn't render my objects, I have tried loading from my obj loader and also just using vertex and index buffer from a working tutorial, neither work.

It is really just 1 Graphics class so it's not complicated code. For 2 days I struggle with this, since I am new to openGL I don't know what is wrong and have been trying to fix it for days now.

Here is the graphics class.

It is really just 1 Graphics class so it's not complicated code. For 2 days I struggle with this, since I am new to openGL I don't know what is wrong and have been trying to fix it for days now.

I don't know what's wrong either, because you haven't described any kind of problem. I see code, but I don't even know what kind of problem to look for.

You may not be able to know the cause of a problem, but we need to at least know what the problem is in order to help you find the cause of it.

[size=2][ I was ninja'd 71 times before I stopped counting a long time ago ] [ f.k.a. MikeTacular ] [ My Blog ] [ SWFer: Gaplessly looped MP3s in your Flash games ]

To find a problem, you should comment out most of the code and start from basics.

Get empty window to show up, draw something on it.

Enable perspective code.

Replace test drawing with your cube.

Add shaders.

And so on.

Not only you will find the error, but this way you will learn OpenGL easier. And you would ask much more specific questions :)

// this triggers 1280 GL_INVALID_ENUM this is before I even set any gl enums manually
	if ( error != GL_NO_ERROR )	
		{
		cout << glewGetErrorString( error );
		exit(-1);
		return false;
		}

This GL_INVALID_ENUM may be because you have a call to glGetError() before calling glewInit().

And, as was said, it's hard to know why it doesn't work.

Have you tried rendering a single triangle only, instead of more complicated objects?

Try disables back face culling, perhaps the vertices are being specified in the wrong winding.

Also, don't know if it's relevant but .obj files store vertices in 1 based indices (eg. indices start at 1 and not 0).
