[vtkusers] how to integrate VTK in MFC without using CMake?

Hi,

It's for all users ;)

Yes, this is correct.
But you can use it without the cmake  project.

No, this is not correct. 
In your project settings, you need to add the include path of VTK, the lib path
of VTK and you have to link the needed VTK lib in the linker section of your
project.

I don't get this one...

You can use vtkMFC Samples shipped with VTK...
You can download a bit more uptodate sample from
http://www.vtk.org/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=649
These have a project file for VC6 and VC7

> 5. Sometimes CMake stop working when trying to make a project file in "Compiling
> VTK loaded Command". What wrong with this?  
Sorry, I have to pass on this one...
