[vtkusers] Windows Forms Application and VTK under Visual C++ 2005

[Andrew J. Dolgert]

I did get it to work inside a .NET application. I made .NET wrappers which are up-to-date for VTK 5.0.1 but not for 5.0.2 yet. You can either take the wrappers as-is or just look at the code to see how to embed VTK in a Windows Form and do it yourself. With managed C++, you could do most of the VTK as native C++ and make only a little managed C++. http://vtkdotnet.sourceforge.net/

Following the MVC pattern, has anyone developed a VC++.Net application where
one form holds the controls and the other form displays the image.  I would
still like the display form  to have the mouse rotate and zoom controls.  I
think I'm just adding to the previous message for clarity.

  Hi,

  I have downloaded the latest source code for vtk and the latest cmake and
was able to compile VTK using Visual C++ 2005. I have also been able to
create some simple console application to render a sphere. I used cmake to
create the VS8 solution, opened the solution with VC++ and added the code
( i.e actor, renderer, interactor) for rendering a sphere on the screen.

  I would like to know if there is a rather easy and simple way to have a
Windows Forms Application instead of a Console Application, and have VTK
render/interact with that form. Basically, I would like to use VS8 IDE to
design the GUI of my form and VTK to do the 3D rendering !!!

  Thanks
