[vtkusers] Install QVTKWidget into Qt Designer/Toolbox

[Jim]

Hi Clinton,
 
Thank you for your help. I actually saw QVTKWidget in Qt Widget Box of Qt Designer, but NOT in the Qt Toolbox of Visual Studio 2008. Do I have to reinstall Qt to add QVTKWidget into Qt Toolbox of VS 2008? Is there any quick fix for this such as copying and pasting a few files? I tried both shared and static builds of VTK but did not make any difference. I built VTK in release mode and installed Qt release version.
 
Thank you.
Jim

It needs to match the build type of the designer, which is typically release.
Have you tried the Help -> About Plugins dialog in the Designer to check for errors?
If its not in the list, you didn't put the dll in the right place.  If there is an error loading it, it gives you the error.


Also, it doesn't matter if VTK is shared libs or not.  Only the .dll needs to be copied to the plugins/designer directory.
It shows up in the toolbox under "QVTK"

Yes it is a release build. Do I need a debug or release build?
 
Thank you.

Is this a release build?

in Qt Designer/Toolbox after copying QVTKWidgetPlugin.dll and
QVTKWidgetPlugin.lib to this folder: \Qt\4.4.3\plugins\designer.
These two files are also very small (3 KB lib and 26 KB dll). My questions are
