In Visual C++ 2010, how draw multiple cubes on a single window?

Hi,
I'm getting close now to OpenGL.

I wish I could draw a series of cubes in a single window, starting from an array of vertices.

Currently I have a list of objects that each contain an array of 8 vertices. So, I would draw them all as passing the 8 vertices to the drawing function..

Given that the "main" is not only to draw, how can I create a recursive function or similar that is called each time, so that I can enter all the cubes in the same window by each 8 vertices?

Someone can help me?

Just create a Draw function that takes the vertices as input parameters and draws the object from them. Pretty basic doding really.

ok, but I don't understand how bypass "main loop" since my main it isn't only to draw...or all the block "glBegin, glEnd" etc can be execute without problem without "main loop" instance?
