huh?

just the handle for the device context in a window application.
i know ...i''m always low on words...

Thanks. But what's the handle for, what does it do?
Is it like a pointer to a windows window(ok crappy written).

Straight out of MSDN:

Device Context:
Structure that defines a set of graphic objects and their attributes, and the graphic modes that affect output. In addition, the device context (DC) refers to a physical output device—its name, device driver, and other attributes. GDI function call parameters contain a handle to a DC to include the attributes of the specified device. There are four types of DC: display (supports drawing operations on a video display terminal), printer (supports drawing operations on a printer or plotter), memory (supports drawing operations on a bitmap), and information (supports retrieval of device data.) See also graphic modes, graphic objects.

As for rendering contexts, look them up in MSDN, it''s way too long to post here.

guessing
hglrc handle gl rendering context
hdc handle device context

a handle a global number sort of like an ID
