I believe this is related to a rather old issue from the Qt mailing list as described here . In short, if the thread calling makeCurrent() does not equal the thread where the device context was retrieved, GetDC() is called. As outlined in the linked thread, the problem is that ReleaseDC() is not called accordingly, resulting in a handle leak, and triggering Windows to return NULL in the call to GetDC() at some point, which makes wglMakeCurrent() fail.
I don't know, however, why GetLastError() claims "The operation completed successfully" in this case.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
