Alright, my goal is to make a Win32 Frame/Window with a menu at the top, Just a basic file, edit.ect

And then for the rest of it to be opengl with a spinning cube.

I have programmed a window that does this, although it seems to take up 50% of my 3.8Ghz CPU. so its obvious i coded something screwy. so im just gonna redo it.

Im asking what would be the proper way to make opengl inside a win32 frame?

im pretty confused, so a example would help..But words are just as good.

And o ya, im using Win32 not MFC!.

Thanks guys!

post your message loop. sometimes improper use of accelerators and other
things used in a message loop can be processor hogs.

ya that was just it, i fixed it... Took me like an hour. Im pretty nooby so this feels like a big acomplishment for me, but when my game engine done, CGTalk will be the first to see it.

If anyones wondering this fixed it:


while (1)
{
while (WaitMessage())
{
while (PeekMessage(&Message, NULL, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE))
{
if (GetMessage(&Message, NULL, 0, 0))
{
TranslateMessage(&Message);
DispatchMessage(&Message);
}
else
{
return Message.wParam;
}
DrawScenes();
glFinish();
SwapBuff(hDC);
}
}
}
}

One more thing, i know how to make dlls. but how would i put my voids or my resource.h in a dll and call it. I tryed the voids in a dll and i failed. i tryed putting my resource.h in a dll and everything compiled and had no problems but it didnt use my resource.h therefore their was no menu. If you could help that would be greatly apriciated. Thanks!
