Why does it need CS_OWNDC? That sounds like a bug.
I came across this today in the wxWidgets library. Although it's not
clear it affects newer windows versions, this comment tries to explain,
quoting src/msw/glcanvas.cpp:
/*
From Angel Popov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Here are two snips from a dicussion in the OpenGL Gamedev list that
explains
how this problem can be fixed:
"There are 5 common DCs available in Win95. These are aquired when you
call
GetDC or GetDCEx from a window that does _not_ have the OWNDC flag.
OWNDC flagged windows do not get their DC from the common DC pool, the
issue
is they require 800 bytes each from the limited 64Kb local heap for GDI."
"The deal is, if you hold onto one of the 5 shared DC's too long (as
GL apps
do), Win95 will actually "steal" it from you. MakeCurrent fails,
apparently, because Windows re-assigns the HDC to a different window.
The
only way to prevent this, the only reliable means, is to set CS_OWNDC."
