[vtkusers] Interactor still interacts... why ?

[de Boer Ingo]

Hi,

I am trying to write my own windows interactor. But it seems that
only overwriting the OnButton function isn't enough ?! What more to
do ? I have written a small sample based on the cube example. Allthough
I have overwritten all the functions I can still interact with my mouse.
Debugging showed, that the functions from vtkRenderWindowInteractor are
called and not from vtkMyInteractor !!

any hints ?

thanks,
  Ingo
