I downloaded the latest version of glaux.h and glaux.lib, but I can’t use function like ‘auxSolidSphere()’ using Borland C++ 5.5 Other opengl functions do work. Compiling with BCC32.Exe I get the following error mesage: “unresolved external ‘auxSolidSphere’ referenced from “c:\borland\bcc55\bin\triangles.obj” What’s the problem?

Hi Ahmed,

Try creating a Win32 Console Application instead of a Win32 Application.

Cheers,

Hey Frankie,

The tlb was built for Visual Basic 6.0, and hasn’t been updated in many years. Theoretically you could write your own tlb wrapper for the current OpenGL drivers.

Indeed it is good to have these files together. But the driver library set is old [1.2]. What do we need to jump to OpenGL with Gl-aux functions, shading & rendering options which have been around for several years. Is there no one churning out a tlb for OpenGl 4.1?

I am interested in being in touch with anyone using VB with a high end openGl driver set

It is good to find the required files at one place.

Hi Frankie,

This is the page where you can get information on vbogl.tlb:
http://home.pacific.net.hk/~edx/tlb.htm

Good luck contacting the guy though, his main page says the site was put up in 1998 and it doesn’t look like anything has been done with it since.

Personally I wouldn’t bother, Visual Basic is too slow compared to C++ to interest most computer graphics programmers. This is why a lot of languages don’t have native support for OpenGL or Direct3D.

A type library is like a wrapper, which links visual basic calls to the native calls inside of a dll file (If I remember correctly). You can make them yourself, but it might take a little bit of work.

Cheers,
