How do I open a window?

[tombert]

I was trying to learn OpenGL, and do the first example, and I am able to do all of it except the "OpenAWindowPlease()" function.

I have no idea how to do that in MSWindows, since I come from a linux environment.

Can someone please show me the code?

MSDN has got a a sample^[1] that compares a X windows system OpenGL program to a Win32 port of the same.

If you are playing with OpenGL, you should also make yourself very familiar with NeHe's site
http://nehe.gamedev.net/
All the tutorials have source examples in C or C++ for at least Windows and *nix, plus other languages and platforms.

I was actually able to use the premade one that came with Code::Blocks.

Works pretty well, I made a gravity engine for a block that bounces up and down.

Thanks for your guys' help.
