Does anyone have an example of how to insert an SDL created OpenGL
Window into a QT Gui Window?

Thanks,

Hi

I might be shooting myself in the foot here, but I guess that it might be
kinda hard to do. Atleast that’s the case with mixing MFC and SDL. The
reason for this is that MFC uses it’s own hidden main function but SDL wants
its own. Now, I don’t know if the same goes for QT, but that would at least
be my guess. Shoot me if I’m wrong :wink:
Prehaps you are better off just using OpenGL in QT without SDL?

Dunno about combining SDL + Qt, but I know the Qt does
include an openGL sample in there somewhere… now for
Linux, SDL dosn’t try and shove a main down the
compilers throat… so you’d be able to combine Qt+OGL
for rendering, and still use SDL for the sound or
network backend, for example. It uses some Qt
extension or something. I believe the example is
called QGL or something… I’m booted in windows at
the moment, or else I’d check (I develop exclusivly in
linux at the moment…)> Hi

Hi Dominique,

Looking on the web I found this page:
http://doc.trolltech.com/2.3/index.html where a full tutorial on OpenGL
and QT is available.

Hope this helps.
