Hi Vectra,

In Windows, you should be able to call SetParentId on a vtkRenderWindow, with 
the Windows handle of the intended parent control. Then, you should 
SetPosition and SetSize to tell it where in the parent to go, and what its 
size should be.

I guess that should work whether it's a COM client or not, though I've only 
tried this approach with .Net (C++/CLI).
