I think double clicks are important too.  But I don't think the CView 
should have to deal with that.
The QVTKWidget handles double clicks by setting the RepeatCount on the 
interactor and sending a mouse event to the interactor, which in turn 
goes to the interactor style.  So double clicks are handled in the same 
place all the other events are handled.

So, we just need to catch WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK.  I suggest we make that 
change in vtkWin32RenderWindowInteractor.  And then the WinProc for 
vtkMFCWindow also catches WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK and passes it to the interactor.

That printing feature you are referring to seems specific to the CView 
class.  Perhaps we make a CView derived class, vtkMFCView or something, 
and put that in GUISupport/MFC which uses vtkMFCWindow and adds printing 
support among any other useful things.

Does that give you everything you need?
