Hi, i've been trying to add some code to my engine to create an opengl 3.1 context, to keep up to date with current technology. However, it's dosen't seem to do anything different... I though depreciated features where phased out in 3.1, and that you absolutely needed shaders to render anything, but all my old code still work and i can even render stuff without shaders. Is there a way to be sure the context i am creating is what i am trying to do?
For example, i added this pieces of code in my engine initialization procedure:
if(!SetupPixelFormatDescriptor(hDC)){
PostQuitMessage(0);
return false;
}
#ifndef COMPILE_FOR_OPENGL_3_1_
hRC = wglCreateContext(hDC);
wglMakeCurrent(hDC, hRC);
#else
GLenum err = glewInit();
HGLRC tempContext = wglCreateContext(hDC);
wglMakeCurrent(hDC, tempContext);
int attribs[] =
{
WGL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION_ARB, 3,
WGL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION_ARB, 1,
WGL_CONTEXT_FLAGS_ARB, 0,
0};
PFNWGLCREATECONTEXTATTRIBSARBPROC CreateContextAttribsARB = (PFNWGLCREATECONTEXTATTRIBSARBPROC)wglGetProcAddress("wglCreateContextAttribsARB");
hRC = CreateContextAttribsARB(hDC, 0, attribs);
wglMakeCurrent(NULL,NULL);
wglDeleteContext(tempContext);
wglMakeCurrent(hDC, hRC);
#endif
But for the reasons listed above, it dosen't seem to do much... I followed the new red book instruction (OpenGL Programming guide 7th edition).
Am i doing this right?
