    <blockquote> <p>Why I need opengl32 static library ( I have .dll)?</p> </blockquote> <p>It provides the symbol table for the linker. The symbol table tells the linker which functions are provided by the library, so that the linker knows how to tie the symbols used in the program, to the libraries linked.</p> <p>Note that on other OSs than windows, the "DLL" does also provide the symbol tables.</p> <blockquote> <p>Why video card vendors does not provide this library?</p> </blockquote> <p>Because the library is part of the OS interfaces to the driver system</p> <blockquote> <p>Who should provide it?</p> </blockquote> <p>The DLL: The OS vendor. The symbol table library: The compiler vendor.</p> <blockquote> <p>Is there a source code of opengl32 library?</p> </blockquote> <p>OpenGL itself is just a specification. What you have on your computer is a implementation and a interface. The interface is part of the OS. Hence on closed source OSs there is no source code available, but on open source OSs there is.</p> <blockquote> <p>Why I need GLEW or other GL library implementations (to use all features of OpenGL) if there is opengl32?</p> </blockquote> <p>opengl32.dll is just a interface to the driver system. This interface needs to be the smallest common denominator of OpenGL features, so that a wide range of OpenGL versions and capabilities can be offered through a common interface. However you also want to be able to access newer, and bleeding edge features, for which the extension mechanism exists.</p> <blockquote> <p>Why opengl32 cannot have all required GL implementation?</p> </blockquote> <p>opengl32.dll is part of the operating system and if it were part of the OS, then every new version of OpenGL would require a OS update. This is, in fact, the situation of MacOS X.</p> <p>Also the OpenGL <strong>implementation</strong> is part of the driver, not the DLL.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
