OpenGL is not standard with all compilers. You may have to download it.

When you want to pass a constant variable, pass it by reference to save memory.

Example:

int example (const int &value); // this one

There's going to be a lot of cross posting going on between the two. I'm up for it :D

Are you dealing with a List control, array, or something else?

If its an array, you should be able to go through the array with a simple loop.

Good point.
