OK. I had planned on subclassing wxWindow and then doing renWin->SetWindowId(this->GetHandle()); somewhere in the initialization. I have so much legacy code for doing little things to the window (from my Borland renderwindow classes) that I had hoped to create a whole family of wxRenderWindows.

One thing that may cause trouble is that I have options for turning on/off stereo rendering (glasses etc) etc, but these require the window to be destroyed and recreated. Is there a convenient hook into DestroyHandle and CreateHandle under wx?

Noted. I'll remember this. I'm still only playing with wx right now, but when I get there....

thanks
