OpenGL drawing from another class
Author
Hello guys! Wonder if there is a expert that can answe my question...
I am working with OpenGL. I have a main .cpp class where I include the main OpenGL header, that is gl.h, glu.h and glaux.h. Now, in that main class I have a function called "int drawGLScene(GLvoid)" where i can do all the drawing, and it works fine. The problem now is that i want to draw from another class. So I have a class called Box(.h), where I have a function called draw(). When I try to do glBegin(GL_QUADS); ... glEnd(); it works just fine, but then i try to do the glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, someTexture[0]); in the same draw() function nothing happens, all I get is white color on the box. But it works fine in the main class drawGLScene()! So, why can't I bind the texture in the other class ?!? I'm sure that the textures are loaded correctly. I've also tried to get the texture from the Box class and bind it in the drawGLScene() function, but nothing happens. Strang I'll say...
Got any clue anyone ?
hmmmm..
Where is someTexture[0] declared, and what value is it when it is called in box.h(Are you sure you're calling it in here?)...
You should be fine making OpenGL calls from another class as long as OpenGL is initialized and set up, which it sounds like it is...
If the someTexure[0] is set correctly, then try calling glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D) in your external class before doing the bindtexture and drawing.

Can you post some code? In the meantime a few things to check are:
That's about all I can think of without seeing specific code.

- Make sure you bind the texture outside of the begin-end pair.
- Make sure you've enabled texturing.
- Make sure that the someTexture array accessed in your Box class is the same array as you load the textures into, not a different array with the same name.

someTexture[0] is declared in the box.h as private...
Where are you calling glGenTextures from? If you trace into your code, what value's in someTexture[0]?
If the value is set correctly, then you probably just need to enable GL_TEXTURE_2D.
Posting the code would help alot.

btw, I did the glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D) int the main class!
What if you put glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D) right about this line?
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, boxTextures[0]);
Just to make sure that's not the problem.

Done! Nothing... It's still white... like snow ... :)

DAMN!
hmmm.. The only other thing I have to offer is to make sure that boxTextures[0] is a valid number, and make sure the texture loading code is ok!
