How do i make my window ALT+TAB safe?
heres the createWindow function incase you need to see something:
It always goes to full screen and i felt its important to allow them to unfullsize it for something without exiting

go to http://nehe.gamedev.net/ then go to lessons 1-5 and check out setting up an OpenGL window under windows, this will tell you how to switch between fulscreen and windowed mode, you can also try www.gametutorials.com they have alot of good stuff. I would tell you how to do it but then youd miss out on learning it for yourself. Also both the window making programs from nehe and gametutorials work to alt tab out of and back into.

I made my basecode off of NeHe's, and it has the same problem as his, i run the window i make in 800x600 and my screen runs at 1024x768 and when i alt tab it shrinks it (and also i always want it in full screen, tahts why i took the option out

In a full screen application, you need to pause your game and information. Then when yoru window regains control, you need to re initialize everything lost then continue with the game.
