ssup, i''m able to create an OpenGL window and do things in but what i want to do is to create a new window just like an About window but i don''t want my main window to get close. I know how to create a new process in Linux by simply doing a fork()... what i''d like to know is if i can do it by another way or if the only way is to create a new process with fork()... Thx for ya help guys!!

Hi,

you can create an about-window over a dialogfield.
If you are using Visual C++ 6.0 you can add a resource to the actually project. Then you must implement an Dialogloop.
More informations you can find on

-> www.gametutorials.com -> Tutorials->Win32->Dialogfields.

and -> MSDN Libraries.

I hope I could help you.
