"wglChoosePixelFormatARB" like other "gl" commands doesn't work without activated GL context. As you see GL context was deleted before:


wglMakeCurrent(NULL, NULL);
wglDeleteContext(g_hRC);
ReleaseDC(g_hWnd, g_hDC);
DestroyWindow(g_hWnd);

I think it would work if you do this ^ code when you done setting a MSAA pixel format.

When MSAA fails, the number of samples is set to one, but the WGL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS is still true. I don't suppose setting it to false makes any difference?

Also, isn't 24 bits the norm for depth buffers, rather than 16?

Do you think it could be a hardware/driver issue?

Do you think it could be a hardware/driver issue?

Does that code run on your computer?

Does that code run on your computer?

its a shame i bought an opengl book which has code that doesnt run...

The main problem that prevented the program from finding a pixel format was that the WGL_ACCELERATION_ARB attribute needed to be set to WGL_FULL_ACCELERATION_ARB, not just 1! I also made some fixes that took away the black screen issue that you would see even after that problem.

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I think that this solution will help you and others using the SuperBible code repository. Hope this helps.
