OpenGLES in a Windows Phone 8.1 App

Question

I have a C++ lib that draws visual controls on a drawing context using OpenGLES (like buttons, textboxes, lists etc.). I want to use this lib on multiple mobile devices (Windows Phone 8.1, IoS, Android).

Right now I want to try to use it on a Windows Phone, so I want to:

1. integrate this library into a Windows Phone 8.1 application
2. send the drawing context of the Windows phone app to the C++ code in order to draw on it.

Could you give me a few directions how to do this?

Thank you, Nadia

You can use ANGLE to run your OpenGL ES code on Windows Phone 8.1.

See the Build session ANGLE: Running OpenGL ES 2.0 Graphics Code on Windows for more details and the MSOpenTech ANGLE wiki for sample code and tutorials.
