I know I shouldn't have reregistered but still...

That's a good question. I'm starting a new thread about it in the Staff forum... Sorry about that.

Edit: I've unbanned your Matrix account

Thanks

Edit: Thanks for confirming that i need two contexts... I just didnt want to have to do extra work if it wasnt needed...

damn badly worded documentation

Thanks for all your help,

The technote has been updated. It now says:

"To further simplify the sharing of windowed and full screen contexts, the ability to use full screen pixel formats to create windowed drawables has been added to Mac OS X v10.3 Panther. This means a client can create one pixel format with full screen specified and use it to support both windowed and full screen contexts."

This is different that what I thought it meant...

and it's just plain wrong, too, as far as I can tell. Maybe it means to talk about Tiger?

Ha!

So it did say what I thought it said.... Ah well, I got it working anyways...

Updating this thread-- the current discussion on the mac-opengl list includes indication from an Apple OpenGL engineer that it is supposed to work as the technote currently indicates. That is, you should be able to create a windowed drawable with a fullscreen pixel format.

However, this is broken. It does not currently work. Apparently, it used to work in 10.3.0.
