Glut.glutRemoveOverlay Method 

Removes the overlay (if one exists) from the current window.

[Visual Basic]
Public Shared Sub glutRemoveOverlay()
[C#]
public static void glutRemoveOverlay();

Remarks

glutRemoveOverlay removes the overlay (if one exists). It is safe to call glutRemoveOverlay even if no overlay is currently established -- it does nothing in this case. Implicitly, the window's layer in use changes to the normal plane immediately once the overlay is removed.

If the program intends to re-establish the overlay later, it is typically faster and less resource intensive to use glutHideOverlay and glutShowOverlay to simply change the display status of the overlay.
