Hi! I'm having some problems rendering to an HBITMAP. I am using NeHe's CreateGLWindow function. It renders perfectly on a screenDC but on a memoryDC it doesn't work: I modify this lines: to this ones: All appears OK but later in SetPixelFormat Function: I tried almost everything and I don't know what to do.
