tutorial 1 - simple project

Introduction

This is the first of my MFC OpenGL Tutorials where I take you through the steps needed to open a simple MFC window and render some OpenGL graphics into it.

It is a bare-bones application that you can use to start off your MFC-OpenGL programming adventures! The MFC AppWizard will generate most of the MFC code for you. Fairly soon, I'll be writing a tutorial showing you how to write one from scratch, or if you are converting an application with a lot of code that you have already written outside of MFC.

A few differences between the Win32 methods and MFC will become apparent, but essentially the code is still very much the same, you just put it in a different place. I assume that the reader is knowledgeable about OpenGL and Microsoft Visual C++ v6.0.
