[vtkusers] How do I convert a vtkExtractVOI to vtkDataset? or using in a vtkProbe

The *class* you use is called vtkExtractVOI.
Its *result* (or "output") is of type vtkImageData.

You should pass the output of vtkExtractVOI to the probe, not
the class itself. I.e.

  probe->SetSource(this->myExtractVOI->GetOutput());
