Original Post
Hello,
I am new at coding graphical applications, and thanks to Nehe I have been trying to learn openGL. Now the following code will be of the creation of a window in windows using openGL but I did not post on the openGL forum because it looks like it is not an openGL problem but more of my own ignorance of using C++ classes. I will post the bugs that msvc6.0 got me in debug mode after the code.
- system_core.h -
As you see, all the code has been borrowed from nehe's website, but to learn I always make sure that I rewrite it, and organize it like I like it to be. The first function that is called is Run() and there I had to create this bool fscreen because it didn't like when I changed fullscreen directly for some reason. Now the heat is on CreateGLWindow. Here is what it gives me in debug.
First-chance exception in game.exe: 0xC0000005: Access Violation.
this points to WindowRect.left=(long)0; It also tells me:
CXX0030: Error: expression cannot be evaluated, and when I click on the this tab in debug mode, it tells me that all the expressions that change member data in cApplication cannot be evaluated.
I would really like some feedback on what I am doing wrong, and if you need some more info please ask me. The code compiles fine, it is a runtime error. So much for trying to create a window, hehe.
Also, I used to have a cApp class derived from cApplication and some few function virtuals to allow some flexibility, but I have deleted it and any reference to it because I really need to make cApplication run first.
Thank you for your time,
Lois Desplat.
