glNewList glCallList in opengl

I have to write a program.  I'm using Microsoft visual c++.  When you resize the window everything clears.  I was told that if you used glNewList and glCallList, you could redraw the window.  I did it but I cannot get it to work.

glNewList() and glCallList() just create and execute display lists.  They have nothing at all to do with redrawing the scene (except for the fact that they may actually contain some of the drawing operations).

When the window is resized you will want to redimension the viewing frustrum accordingly to keep things in perspective.  The you will want to swap the buffers and keep going.
