hello, I have some context problem using OpenGL Ctrl. Let me present my problem using the OpenGL package (reference assembly) :

in the void GLPaint() function I add this at the end :

auto test =wglGetCurrentContext(); //Get current OpenGL context, NULL if no context is active
if(test == NULL)Cout() << "Bad Context" << EOL;
else Cout() << "Good Context" << EOL;
		
auto test2 = GetCurrentThreadId(); //Get current thread PID
Cout() << "Thread PID :" << test2 << EOL;

The goal of this code is to print if the function handle a valid openGL context and then print the PID of the current thread

The result of this bunch of code is simple :
Good context

However when using this bunch of code in Key function, it print me bad context with the same PID than in the GLpaint function
wich is problematique because I can't execute some opengl function direclty in the key handler !

Can someone explain me why this happen ? Confused

Thanks in advance
Best regard.
