I would like to try to take over control of rendering in the blitz window. Any tips on how? I assume I have to free the device and rendering contexts and create new ones for GL to map to?

NM, I've got a solid idea of what I have to do now. But feel free to gab about the subject, especially if your interrested in this at all. I will help if I can.

Well I've managed to hijack the window and get GL running but the window dissapears immediately :).

Nm, I got it working. This is some really cool stuff! Fun to play with.

hmm, this sounds like a great idea... Have you got any code for it?

It's the same thing drago and otacon have done essentially.

Drago and otacon? hmm, any links?

Depends on if you are doing it in blitz+ or blitz3D. There are a couple more steps involved with blitz3D. All you really need is the HWND of the blitz window then you can do whatever you want, override it message function even, which isn't that good idea since then all the Keyboard functions wont work. If you want some code just ask.
