Thanks for your answer Simon,

I also tried posting an event from the listener thread
using the 
renderer->InvokeEvent(vtkCommand::UserEvent,NULL);
In the main code, I do have an observer of the UserEvent attached to the 
renderer that calls Render().
Nevertheless, this did not work and gave exactly the same error ! 
(wglMakeCurrent failed in MakeCurrent()).

Any other idea ? Is there an other Event I can post/Invoke to force an 
update of the renderer?
