[Mono-winforms-list] Embed OpenGL rendering in a winform app (linux)

[canardlebarbare]

Ok, I need to explain a little more what I am doing.

The Winforms app use DllImport to render a 3D scene (from a C++ lib) in a
Winforms Control. My 3D C++ lib is linked to OpenSceneGraph. It seems to be
possible for me to get the current graphics context directly in OSG without
send a window Handle. Then I guess I have only to find a way to create a
graphics context from the Winforms app and then get it from the C++ side ?

I started to watch OpenTK, It could be possible to create simply a graphics
context ?
