problem after creating opengl context manually on windows

[Dman01]

Hello

I already posted this on opengl.org, but nobody seems to have a solution.
Basically I set up Opengl and when I want to draw 3D or say I want to use the z-axis by translating in this dimension, it doesn't have any effect.
What I can do, is moving my view in x and y axis, but not z.

I coded this with this
Here is my code :

(code is given chronologically)

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
				   LPSTR lpCmdLine, int iCmdShow)
{

        WNDCLASS wincl;
	HWND hWnd;
	MSG msg;

        wincl.hInstance = hInstance;
	wincl.lpszClassName = "GLEngine";
	wincl.lpfnWndProc = WndProc;
	wincl.style = 0;
	wincl.hIcon = LoadIcon(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_MAINICON));
	wincl.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
	wincl.lpszMenuName = NULL;
	wincl.cbClsExtra = 0;
	wincl.cbWndExtra = 0;
	wincl.hbrBackground = NULL;
	if (!RegisterClass(&wincl)) return 0;


    app->setInstance(hInstance);

    if (!app->initAPI()) return 0;

    bool done = false;

    app->init();

    while (!app->isDone()) {

       //...

    }
}

bool OpenGLApp::initAPI()
{
    
    if (width < 640)
    width = 640;
    if (height < 480)
    height = 480;

    int monitorCounter = screen;
	EnumDisplayMonitors(NULL, NULL, MonitorEnumProc, (LPARAM) &monitorCounter);

    int x, y;

	x = monInfo.rcMonitor.left;
	y = monInfo.rcMonitor.top;

	#ifdef DEBUG // For testing only

	std::ofstream myfile ("Info.txt");
	if (myfile.is_open())
    {
        myfile << monInfo.rcMonitor.left << "\n" << monInfo.rcMonitor.top << "\n";
        myfile << monInfo.rcMonitor.right << "\n" << monInfo.rcMonitor.bottom << "\n";
        myfile.close();
    }

    #endif

    DWORD flags = WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS; ///< Set only one render-target

    if (Fullscreen)
    {
        flags = WS_POPUP;
        x = 0;
        y = 0;

        width = monInfo.rcMonitor.right;
        height = monInfo.rcMonitor.bottom;

        // change resolution before the window is created
        DEVMODE dmode;

        memset(&dmode, 0, sizeof(DEVMODE));// clear all memory
        dmode.dmSize=sizeof(DEVMODE);	   // it's required to specify the size of this struct
        dmode.dmPelsWidth = width;	   // width and height of desired resolution
        dmode.dmPelsHeight = height;
        dmode.dmBitsPerPel = cBits;	   // color depth; 8/16/32 bit
        dmode.dmFields = DM_BITSPERPEL|DM_PELSWIDTH|DM_PELSHEIGHT;

        // change resolution, if possible
        if (ChangeDisplaySettings(&dmode, CDS_FULLSCREEN) != DISP_CHANGE_SUCCESSFUL)
        {
            // if not... failed to change resolution
            flags = WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW;
            MessageBox(hWnd, "No Fullscreen mode is avaible.\nBack to windowed",
                         "Error", MB_OK);
        }
    }

    if (!Fullscreen)
    {
        flags |= WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW;
    }

    // create main window
	hWnd = CreateWindow(
		"GLEngine", getTitle(),
		flags,
		x, y, getWidth(), getHeight(),
		HWND_DESKTOP, NULL, hInstance, NULL );

    // number of available formats
    int indexPixelFormat = 0;

    PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR pfd =
    {
        sizeof(PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR),
        1,
        PFD_DRAW_TO_WINDOW|PFD_SUPPORT_OPENGL|PFD_DOUBLEBUFFER,
        PFD_TYPE_RGBA, cBits,
        0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, // useles parameters
        depthBits, stencilBits,
		0, PFD_MAIN_PLANE,0,0,0,0
    };

	hDC = GetDC( hWnd );

	if (hDC == 0)
	{
	     MessageBox(hWnd, "Failed to Get the Window Device Context",
                         "Device Context Error", MB_OK);
        return false;
	}

    // Choose the closest pixel format available
    indexPixelFormat = ChoosePixelFormat(hDC, &pfd);

    // Set the pixel format for the provided window DC
    SetPixelFormat(hDC, indexPixelFormat, &pfd);

	// create and enable the render context (RC)
	glContext = wglCreateContext( hDC );
	if (glContext == 0)
	{
	    MessageBox(hWnd, "Failed to Create the OpenGL Rendering Context",
                         "OpenGL Rendering Context Error", MB_OK);
        return false;
	}
	wglMakeCurrent( hDC, glContext );

	glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);

	return true;

}

bool OpenGLApp::init()
{
    glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
    glEnable(GL_NORMALIZE);
    glEnable(GL_COLOR_MATERIAL);

    return true;
}

And the action is done with the following code :

glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

    //glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
    //glLoadIdentity();
    glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
    glLoadIdentity();
    //m_Camera.Render(); // Apply Camera viewport

        static float t = 0;


        //glRotatef(t,1,1,1);
        //glTranslatef(0,0,0.05*t);

        glBegin(GL_QUADS);

            glNormal3f(0.0, 1.0f, 0.0f);
            glColor3f(1.0,0.0,0.0); glVertex3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
            glVertex3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
            glVertex3f(1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f);
            glColor3f(0.0,1.0,0.0); glVertex3f(0.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f);

        glEnd();

        t+=1;

        if (t > 360)
        {
            t = t - 360;
        }

    glFlush();
    SwapBuffers(hDC);

Now, as stated in the post at Opengl.org the polygon only appears when z is between -1 and 1.
When I do let it rotate it's shown 3D-like, but at some points there appears a black cut and a part of the quad isn't drawn.
Thats really odd what's happening.
If somebody could tell me what I'm missing to do, in order to draw 3D correctly, I'd be happy.
