Can't use certain functions in OpenGL (glGenBuffers) - opengl

Question

I have seen similar questions to mine else where but none have answered or fixed my problem.
I have GLEW initiated properly, right after the Context creation but before I call glfwMakeContextCurrent()
After I have initiated I try to use glGenBuffers() but it doesn't work. Throws an error.
My OpenGL version is 3.2 so from what I have read I can use this functionality in my program. Please to let me know otherwise though if I can't. I will try to figure out a different way to do this.
I am using Windows 7 and VS2012, and it seems that everything is linked properly. Hope I provided all the info I needed.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <GL/glew.h>
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
#include <thread>
int main(){
//Initialize GLFW
if(!glfwInit()){
printf("GLFW was not initialized successfully!\n");
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(5));
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
else{
printf("GLFW was initialized successfully!\n");
}
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 2);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE);
GLFWwindow* window = glfwCreateWindow(800, 600, "PONG!", nullptr, nullptr); // Windowed
glewExperimental = GL_TRUE;
if(!glewInit()){
printf("GLEW was not initialized successfully!\n");
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(5));
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
else{
printf("GLEW was initialized successfully!\n");
}
glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
GLuint vertexbuffer;
glGenBuffers(1, &vertexbuffer);
printf("%u\n", vertexbuffer);
fprintf(
stdout,
"INFO: The OpenGL version is: %s\n",
glGetString(GL_VERSION)
);
fprintf(
stdout,
"INFO: The GLEW version is: %s\n",
glewGetString(GLEW_VERSION)
);
while(!glfwWindowShouldClose(window)){
glfwSwapBuffers(window);
glfwPollEvents();
if (glfwGetKey(window, GLFW_KEY_ESCAPE) == GLFW_PRESS){
glfwDestroyWindow(window);
window = glfwCreateWindow(800, 600, "PONG!", nullptr, nullptr);
}
else if (glfwGetKey(window, GLFW_KEY_F) == GLFW_PRESS){
glfwDestroyWindow(window);
window = glfwCreateWindow(800, 600, "PONG!", glfwGetPrimaryMonitor(), nullptr);
}
}
}

Welp, there's your problem right there:
Successful creation does not change which context is current. Before you can use the newly created context, you need to make it current using glfwMakeContextCurrent.
Call glewInit() after glfwMakeContextCurrent().
