Using OpenGL in a regular window (Win32)

I want to use OpenGL in my WndProc but I'm not sure how. I also don't want GL to occupy the whole screen, just a portion of the screen. In the end I basically want to make a drawing win32 app but use OGL instead of GDI. so how can I tell GL to use my control (a panel) 's hdc for drawing?

You can use wglCreateContext on any HDC, but you can't mix the drawing with GDI.

When you call wglCreateContext, pass the control's HDC instead of the window. The same thing works on OpenGL and DirectX.
