ScreenGLProc
Gets the address of an OpenGL procedure
procname
This function can be used to get the address of any OpenGL procedure, to be used to retrieve the pointers to new functions associated with OpenGL extensions. If given procedure named procname cannot be found, ScreenGLProc will return NULL (0).
Syntax
Parameters
procname
name of the procedure to retrieve the address of
Description
This function can be used to get the address of any OpenGL procedure, to be used to retrieve the pointers to new functions associated with OpenGL extensions. If given procedure named procname cannot be found, ScreenGLProc will return NULL (0).
Example
'' include fbgfx.bi for some useful definitions
#include "fbgfx.bi"
Dim SwapInterval As Function(ByVal interval As Integer) As Integer
Dim extensions As String
'' Setup OpenGL and retrieve supported extensions
ScreenRes 640, 480, 32,, FB.GFX_OPENGL
ScreenControl FB.GET_GL_EXTENSIONS, extensions
If (InStr(extensions, "WGL_EXT_swap_control") <> 0) Then
'' extension supported, retrieve proc address
SwapInterval = ScreenGLProc("wglSwapIntervalEXT")
If (SwapInterval <> 0) Then
'' Ok, we got it. Set OpenGL to wait for vertical sync on buffer swaps
SwapInterval(1)
End If
End If
#include "fbgfx.bi"
Dim SwapInterval As Function(ByVal interval As Integer) As Integer
Dim extensions As String
'' Setup OpenGL and retrieve supported extensions
ScreenRes 640, 480, 32,, FB.GFX_OPENGL
ScreenControl FB.GET_GL_EXTENSIONS, extensions
If (InStr(extensions, "WGL_EXT_swap_control") <> 0) Then
'' extension supported, retrieve proc address
SwapInterval = ScreenGLProc("wglSwapIntervalEXT")
If (SwapInterval <> 0) Then
'' Ok, we got it. Set OpenGL to wait for vertical sync on buffer swaps
SwapInterval(1)
End If
End If
