[vtkusers] error when using RemoveActor()

[REGAT-BARREL Aurélien]

Hello,
I don't know the problem, but I think it is an issue of the point I have just developed.
The problem is Win32 specific and is due to macros definitions in <windows.h>
The problem, In my opinion, is that including vtk includes windows.h, and I think it should not be the case.
Actually, GetClassName, GetProp, SetProp, RemoveProps and certainly others does not exist ! These functions are translated to GetClassNameA, GetPropA, SetPropA and RemovePropA because of the inclusion of <windows.h>
In a normal case, this is not a problem since your RemoveProp call is also translated to RemovePropA.
But, if you have defined UNICODE, your call is translated to RemovePropW. And you have an error...
More details about windows.h header:

The easy solution : undef UNICODE or change your RemoveProp call to RemovePropA...
The right solution : remove windows.h from vtk headers !!!

Anyone?????

This problem is in the archives, but no one ever
posted a solution. I changed from using RemoveActor()
to RemoveProp() and I am still getting the same error.
Any help would be appreciated.
