Problems running GraphicsView sample for QtQuarterly Issue 26

[gclayton]

Qt Quarterly issue 26 had an article called "Accelerate your Widgets with OpenGL" which I downloaded and compiled the sample code using Qt 4.5.2 and VS 2008. I am running Vista Ultimate x64.

The article in question is located here: http://qt.nokia.com/doc/qq/qq26-openglcanvas.html

When I compile and run the app from within VS 2008 IDE everything works just fine. However if I run the very same openglscene.exe by double-clicking on the exe, the window does not display the OpenGl objects that are loaded.

I also have Qt 4.6.2, and have also compiled the same code with VS 2008 and Qt 4.6.2 and when I try to run the openglscene.exe either inside VS 2008 or by double-cleicking on the exe, I do not see the OpenGl objects.

Please see the attached jpgs for what I am experiencing.

Please note, the example code has not been modified in any way.

What am I missing when I try to run the openglscene.exe when not in VS 2008?

Thanks in advance for any help.
