New project wizard (OpenGL)
sethjackson:
Hello. I have created a OpenGL project wizard (Windows only for the moment).

Well no replies, and yet is has been downloaded four times???? :( Is it the wizard.png that is hindering it?
Vampyre_Dark:
I figured since it was only in 'for developers' that it would be to include in the default wizards, and not for downloaidng and usage. I haven't even toucghed the new project things, I usually make everything from scratch. I'll check it out now then...
--edit--
Looks good. What's the point of calling DestroyWindow() explicitly, expecially after the message loop is over?

To be honest I don't know I never do that (Well I destroy the window in the WM_CLOSE message) but it seems that most of the Windows OpenGL tutorials do..... What I do (when using the Windows API): in the WM_CREATE message enable OpenGL; in the WM_CLOSE message disable OpenGL, and destroy the window; and in the WM_CLOSE message PostQuitMessage(0).
It always worked for me, however for the wizard I just copied the code from the OpenGL file based template (I'll admit I modified it a bit, but not much)......
Vampyre_Dark:
Heh. Well it sends a WM_DESTROY message, nothing more. That part of your code doesn't even run until the window is already nuked, and the message processing loop is done. It's a redundant call. Not nitpicking, I was just curious.
What is the different between these wizards and just using a file based template? It seems it just copies the main.cpp into the proper folder?
