When is it correct to create a CGLContextObj during application initialization

Question

I am creating a realtime opengl application using a cocoa NSview but creating theCGLContextObj with c++.
I have been struggling to understand when I can create the CGLContext. At first the creating was initiated in the applicationDidFinishLaunching callback but then later when I was setting the cglcontext and the NSview to the NSOpenGLContext, nothing would render without any errors.
To solve this I moved the call that create the CGLContextObj to the awakeFromNib of my NsView and then it started to work.
why? What is needed to happen before the creation of the first CGLContextObj? My guess is that there is an initialization in the cocoa framework that need to happen before, but which one?

Not easily... This would require developing a custom plugin, which is quite complicated. There are simpler ways to achieve something like this, though. For example, you can create a set of customized stamps and use those. A script can also be used to add or edit existing comments, but it depends on what type of comments you're using and how you want to edit them, exactly.
