Title: OpenGLContext on a tab page
Post by: JasonLugg on April 23, 2012, 02:21:01 pm

Hi All

Thanks in advance for any assistance!!!

Can someone tell me how to create an openglcontext on a tab page. I can create one that has its own form but I need one on a tab page so that it is only visible when the user selects that tab?

Is it possible? if so how?

Thanks

TOpenGLContext is same kind of visual component that TButton is. If you can create TButton on a tab page, then you can make opengl context too. But i'm not sure how well it handles hardware accelerated graphics being hidden/shown in a tab.

Drop a TPageControl, add a page, drop TOpenGLContext on that page.
