I''m working on a game editor that needs to bring up dialogs to enter some properties about game elements. Whenever the editor is in full screen mode, the dialogs do not appear. I have tried a call to SwapBuffer just before the dialog, and that doesn''t help. I have also tried changing the render to GL_FRONT. That doesn''t help either. The dialog is a standard windows call like MessageBox( ); I have searched the net for something about this, and have not found an answer. This must be a common problem. Does anyone know how to solve it? -Chuck

well, I would make your own OGL dialog, it may be more work, but you will have more control

Something to look into is making sure you''re including WS_CLIPCHILDREN, or whatever it is, when you create your window.

Thanks for the help. I found the problem. It turns out the problem was caused by this line:

windowExtendedStyle |= WS_EX_TOPMOST;

The game editor works fine without it, even in full screen mode.
