[vtk-developers] Reg:Embed a VTK viewer in a MFC application

[Sridhar Ponnangatti Masilamani]

Hi,

I created a MFC SDI application in which I read an image using ITK, display it through a VTK viewer.
So, when I run the application I get two windows ,one for the MFC dialog and the other VTK viewer.

So in order to get the VTK viewer embedded into the MFC application , I need some suggestions on this.

At the end my VTK viewer has to sit on the MFC GUI Application i.e it must be displayed as a  single window.

Please provide some suggestions on this as I am pretty new to MFC programming.


Also is it possible to link a VTK viewer into a MFC application or any other approach is to be followed.

Please find below the code related to it.


void CItkRegMFCView::OnFileOpen()
{
      // TODO: Add your command handler code here
    // Added By Sridhar on 14/11/2011
      typedef itk::Image <unsigned short, 2> ImageType;
      typedef itk::ImageFileReader<ImageType>ReaderType;
      typedef itk::ImageToVTKImageFilter<ImageType>FilterType;

      ReaderType::Pointer reader = ReaderType::New();
      FilterType::Pointer connector = FilterType::New();

      reader->SetFileName("Fig6.35(3)newsize.bmp");

      connector->SetInput(reader->GetOutput());

      vtkImageViewer *viewer = vtkImageViewer::New();
      vtkRenderWindowInteractor *renderWindowInteractor = vtkRenderWindowInteractor::New();

      viewer->SetupInteractor(renderWindowInteractor);
      viewer->SetInput(connector->GetOutput());
      viewer->Render();
      viewer->SetColorWindow(255);
      viewer->SetColorLevel(128);//128
      renderWindowInteractor->Start();

}



Awaiting your replies.

Regards,
Sridhar.
