[vtk-developers] cocoa on macosx

[Jeff Lee]

Hi Mathieu,
Looks like that will fail for cocoa because vtkCocoaRenderWindow will 
try to cast your handle to a vtkCocoaWindow and will bomb there.  I am 
thinking that vtkCocoaRenderWindow should take an NSWindow or NSView and 
internally make a vtkCocoaWindow with the NSWindow as an ivar.  I think 
I'm going to have to get the mac cocoa book and start reading...  Where 
is Yves when you need him?
Thanks,
-Jeff
