Toady, I was wondering if you could help a fellow programmer out! I'm doing some OpenGL programming but I can't seem to make my window prevent resizing like you did for Dwarf Fortress. May I ask how you do that?

- Thanks in Advance, Salbris

I belive that was done (and headed) by Baughn.  you could try to send a message to him. and actually, your question is better left in the "general discussion" board.

If your using SDL then you need to remove the remove the SDL_RESIZABLE argument to SDL_SetVideoMode, If using direct OpenGL to create the screen their is probably some equivalent but I recommend using SDL for its cross platform capabilities.

This has nothing to do with OpenGL. OpenGL knows not of mortal matters like windows and mice and keyboards.

There has to be some way to enable this using, GLUT or OpenGL directly. Isn't there?

You can't do much with GLUT, since it was made for testing small programs and such.
OpenGL doesn't have much to do with this either.

On windows systems the solution is not to pass WS_THICKFRAME, when calling CreateWindow().
If you're using SDL with OpenGL (which is a very good and very cross-platform solution) then you do what Impaler wrote.

OpenGL directly

Once more, with gusto: OpenGL has nothing to do with window creation.

And it looks like glut doesn't give you the option of creating a non-resizable window. Pick a more capable toolkit (glx/wgl/apple's one, SDL, SFML, etc, etc).
