Events in cpp/opengl

Question

Hello I would like to create infrastructure to handle events for my opengl project. It should be similar to what wpf has - 3 types of events - direct, tunneling, bubbling. I then want to handle events such as mouse up, down, move etc. How should i approach this problem? Is there any library to handle this. thanks

The OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) provides precisely this - you set up a bunch of event handlers for things like keyboard input, mouse input, redrawing the display, and window resizing, call the glutMainLoop() function, and you're good to go.
