[vtkusers] Moving a renderwindow to a new parent

[John Platt]

Hi Beau,

 

I seem to recall that SetParentID() eventually causes VTK to create a
new OpenGL window and install it's own WindowProc() so it can handle
mouse and keyboard events directly (not through the View). Have you
tried Windows ::SetParent() on the VTK window? You may also need
additional code in OnDestroy() of your CView derived class to prevent it
deleting the child VTK window .

Hello everyone,

 

Currently I attach vtkRenderWindows to MFC windows by passing the MFC
window's m_hWnd member to SetParentID.  I think this is the right way to
do it, but correct me if I'm wrong.  Now if I wish to "detach" a render
window, so to speak from its parent and say "move" it to another parent
window then what is the proper way of doing it?  I've tried calling
SetParentID(NULL) but that hasn't worked, the render window appears to
still be attached to its previous parent.  And the application breaks in
an MFC DLL when I try to delete the previous parent.

 

 

Beau
