Hi,
Was wondering if it was possible to have Multi OgreDotNet Windows?
I want to be able to have two panels on a windows forms.

Is this possible? If so how?

Thanks

Yes, multiwindows is doable. Very simple, and depends on what you need to how to do it. Simple solution, create multiple renderwindows using the different forms as the target hwnd and a seperate camera for each window.

One little caveet though, because of swap chain issues with DX, you are best creating number of desired windows + 1. That +1 will be the primary window - that window you should never destroy as long as the rendersystem is around. Also, the primary window you should not resize/move/update/or display - trust me, you'll save yourself many issues ;) Just hide that window/panel.
