Hello,

I'm using VC++6 to write an OpenGL MFC app. The app has two views: One view to render the OpenGL animations, the other to provide textual feedback (corrdinates, frame rate, etc.).

I want to render the feedback information using OpenGL's 2Dtext (instead of GDI) in a separate OpenGL rendering context. I could do my animation and my feedback both in the same context, but it's not what I'd prefer. Unfortunately, you can only have one rendering context per window. That means I need a second window.

I was browsing VC++ 6's code examples and came across the ViewerEx example which shows how to implement two view classes in a static splitter frame window. I tried it and can render my OpenGL code in one of the frames easily enough, but because the splitter frame window is simply one window accommodating two views, I am still limited to only one rendering context. So, my feedback view loses it's DC because the animation view steals it when the splitter frame window is created.

I see in the documentation that the Splitter frame window can use CWnd objects (creating one child window per splitter pane) instead of CView objects. If I could do that, I could create two windows, each with a separate DC and separate OGL rendering context.

This would solve the problem. However, I'm not sure how to make the CWnd object work as a pane in a splitter frame (the documentation was a bit vague). Also, is it possible to create a document "subtemplate" to link my existing view classes to the new splitter pane child windows? That way, I can still use my view class implementation for managing my OpenGL rendering instead of trying to do it using a CWnd object...

Of course, any code examples would be appreciated.

Thanks.
