[vtkusers] Compile with Visual Studio 2008

[David Cole]

Did you not see my response to this thread the other day....?


  The first three lines of vtkMFCWindow.cpp are the culprit. They read:
  #ifndef WINVER    // Allow use of features specific to Windows 95 and
Windows NT 4 or later.
  #define WINVER 0x0400
  #endif

  Remove them or comment them out and it should work ok with VS2008.

  Sorry for the inconvenience....


HTH,
David
