I got windowed mode to work fine in borland, but how would i do to set it fullscreen? Cheers, Gepper

use glSetDisplayMode(int width,int height,int bpp)

The way most people set to fullscreen with opengl sucks my ass so if you really want to do fullscreen. They normally use a win32api call called ChangeDisplaySettings. This call does not work well so don''t use it. Try mixing directdraw calls with opengl and get all the DC''s and stuff.
Believe me, this has been done.

Yes, that was the advice i got so far. Making the window borderless and setting it''s dimensions to the desktop size. _Not_ a good idea IMO. glSetDisplayMode <-- where do you find this function??

Any more tips?

Go see NeHe Tutorial 1
They Describe both Fullscreen and Windowed Mode.

Iceman:
Yes, but NeHe uses the windows API, Borland C++ Builder uses the vcl library. An example for BCB would be nice..

Hello there,
i always use ChangeDisplaySettings with the CDS_FULLSCREEN flag and dont have any problems in c++builder also to get fullscreen just maximize a window with borderstyle = bsnone and the 3dfx logo should come up if using a 3dfx card.

Cheers.
