Hi all,
If I've created a window using CreateWindow under Win32, is there a
simple way to designate just a part of it e.g. using a RECT struct, as
being
exclusively for 3D content specifically using OpenGL? Or do I need
to make the OpenGL window a child of my GUI window?
Thanks. |

You can't mix GDI and OpenGL in a window.
The only option is to make a child window. |

Single buffers work but that comes with its own issues.

Using a child window may be the best option unless you have different
requirements and/or want to get funky with blitting GDI contexts.

I don't know in windows, but in linux it is possible to embed a window.
These demos seams to be for windows:

In Win32, the child window is on top of the parent,
and is cropped/clipped to the parent's area.
Anyway thanks to everyone for the responses,
I got it working. |

Speaking of which what happened to your upscaling issue?

The idea is there, but since I am super-short on time, I can not
implement it :/
I ended up implementing it in the shader, and killing the GPU. Clicking
buttons had huge delays, so we abandoned the idea for now.
I used these papers to do it:
http://yp.wtb.tue.nl/pdfs/10318.pdf
www.dannyruijters.nl/docs/GPU_AccuracyBSpline.pdf
The image is sharper, but requires number of texture lookups and number
of operation, which our GPU can not handle 
How come the OpenGG doesn't have something like this implemented? |

So you ignored the easiest solution and fast CPU alternatives?
You might also want to look at your threading.
