F# and OpenTK in Windows Forms

Question

Does anyone know a good tutorial of using F# and OpenTK in Windows Forms?

These links I've already seen: http://fsxplat.codeplex.com/releases/view/55463 http://www.opentk.com/node/1889

Thank you!

I believe the examples in the fsxplat project should be a decent starting point. There are two ways you can use OpenTK with WinForms.

• If you're creating an application that has just one OpenTK window, then you can inherit from GameWindow and implement your logic in OnRenderFrame . Then you just create an instance of your object and call Run . This approach is used for example in the cube tutorial .

• If you want to use OpenTK as part of a larger application, you can create a standard Form and add GLControl (from OpenTK.GLControl.dll ), which is a standard WinForms control that renders content using OpenTK. You can find an example in DrawingForm type here .
