I need separate 3d viewports on multiple forms... but only one will be shown at a time, as far as I can see. Is there a way to have multiple DGDK controls but only one reference to the DGDK engine?

Or can I move a control to a new form by just copying it somehow, without reinitializing it?

Thanks,
Codemaster

You could have all the viewports on one form, and then copy the images to the other forms using GDI.

I concur, and to be fare, the DarkDGK libraries will not permit me to allow multiple viewports to be handled in this way. Unless your affiliated with the DirectX device to gain access to the viewport or rendering windows, this is not actually possible using the current DarkGDK.NET class library functions.

Thanks for the responses!

Do you have a link to more information about how to copy the image with GDI?
I've been googling it a bit and haven't found anything.

Thanks,
Codemaster

Make a class which inherits from the System.Windows.Forms.Panel class, and override its paint event. This event passes in a System.Drawing.Graphics instance, so use that to copy images from the DBPro window. At the end of each paint event, invalidate the panel again, so it will repaint.

To reduce flicker, override the WndProc, and stop WM_ERASEBGND events from being passed on.
