OpenGL program not working as expected even after everything is fine - c++

Question

Below is what I am using and working with:
Operating System - Windows 7 64Bit
IDE - Visual studio 2010 professional
Working on OpenGL with the basic lib files that are already present in visual studio i.e "opengl32.lib" "glu32.lib" and "gl.h" "glu.h"
Below is the code that I am trying to execute:
//
// GLSAMPLE.CPP
// by Blaine Hodge
//
// Includes
#include <windows.h>
#include <gl/gl.h>
#include <gl/GLU.h>
// Function Declarations
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);
void EnableOpenGL(HWND hWnd, HDC * hDC, HGLRC * hRC);
void DisableOpenGL(HWND hWnd, HDC hDC, HGLRC hRC);
// WinMain
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine, int iCmdShow)
{
WNDCLASS wc;
HWND hWnd;
HDC hDC;
HGLRC hRC;
MSG msg;
BOOL quit = FALSE;
float theta = 0.0f;
// register window class
wc.style = CS_OWNDC;
wc.lpfnWndProc = WndProc;
wc.cbClsExtra = 0;
wc.cbWndExtra = 0;
wc.hInstance = hInstance;
wc.hIcon = LoadIcon( NULL, IDI_APPLICATION );
wc.hCursor = LoadCursor( NULL, IDC_ARROW );
wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject( BLACK_BRUSH );
wc.lpszMenuName = NULL;
wc.lpszClassName = "GLSample";
RegisterClass( &wc );
// create main window
hWnd = CreateWindow(
"GLSample", "OpenGL Sample",
WS_CAPTION | WS_POPUPWINDOW | WS_VISIBLE,
0, 0, 256, 256,
NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL );
// enable OpenGL for the window
EnableOpenGL( hWnd, &hDC, &hRC );
// program main loop
while ( !quit )
{
// check for messages
if ( PeekMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE ) )
{
// handle or dispatch messages
if ( msg.message == WM_QUIT )
{
quit = TRUE;
}
else
{
TranslateMessage( &msg );
DispatchMessage( &msg );
}
}
else
{
// OpenGL animation code goes here
glClearColor( 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f );

glEnd();
glPopMatrix();
SwapBuffers( hDC );
theta += 1.0f;
}
}
// shutdown OpenGL
DisableOpenGL( hWnd, hDC, hRC );
// destroy the window explicitly
DestroyWindow( hWnd );
return msg.wParam;
}
// Window Procedure
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)

}
Below is the link for expected output:

What I am getting on execution:
A blank black console screen.
Important notes:
Added opengl32.lib, glu32.lib in input section in project properties.
Drivers are updated
So can anyone tell me that what is wrong here. And one more thing that I have downloaded this code, not written it myself, here is the link for it http://www.nullterminator.net/opengl32.html

Answer 1

I see no projection/orthographic matrix in your code. You have to specify a camera for your scene. As the fixed function pipeline is deprecated i don't know the exact commands for this. I think its gluPerspecive.
