Need some constructive criticism[Updated+ new question]

Hey guys,
I am making an OpenGL teaching tool, I got to an alpha stage of it now and I would like to know if I am moving in a right direction.

If you have some spare time guys please have a look at my program and let me know what you think. I'll take in any feedback.

Thank you :D

• How to create a text link to open a world document?
  atm i got this help code
  [code]void MainWindow::HelpSlot()
  {
  QTextEdit* help=new QTextEdit();
  help->setWindowFlags(Qt::Window);
  help->setReadOnly(true);
  help->append("<h1>Help</h1>");
  help->show();
  }[/code]

once it pops up i would like a text that once clicked would open a word document, how to do that?

You might want to consider limiting the frame rate or something, it is really heavy on the CPU for something that simple, I mean drawing a single primitive in openGl should be a very lightweight task, and yet it loads the core it runs on at 100%, so my bet is there is something wrong with it.

On a side note, is a dedicated application really necessary to explain a few basic openGL functions? I have the feeling this tool will educate you into programming far more than it will educate other people in openGL, which is still a good thing BTW ;)
