Question

I am creating an usercontrol contains a “Tao.Platform.Windows.SimpleOpenGlControl”.
In my control’s constructor, I have

{
    InitializeComponent();
    simpleOpenGlControl1.InitializeContexts();
}

My problem:
When I use the control on a “Windows Forms Application” it’s ok, but if I put the computer at hibernate or sleep mode, when visual studio is open and form that contains the control, is in design mode, the next time I turn it on this error comes up:

Fatal Error
can not activate the gl rendering context

and visual studio is not responding!
What’s wrong here? I am doing something wrong?

Answer 1

I solved my problem in this way:
In control’s InitializeComponent(); I removed simpleOpenGlControl1 Initialization and then in control’s Load() function, I have

isDesignMode = LicenseManager.UsageMode == LicenseUsageMode.Designtime;
if (!isDesignMode)
{
    // init simpleOpenGlControl1
}

Now when my control is used in a project, there is no simpleOpenGlControl1 in design mode to make problem!
