[vtkusers] Install QVTKWidget into Qt Designer/Toolbox

[Jim]

Clinton: Thank you for this helpful link. Copy QVTKWidgetPlugin.dll to the following folder solved the problem. 
 
C:\Program Files\Trolltech\Qt VS Integration\plugins\designer
 
Now I can see QVTKWidget in both Qt Designer Widget box and VS 2008 Qt Toolbox. FYI, here is my system info:
 
WinXP Pro (32 bit)
VS 2008 Pro
Qt 4.4.3
VTK 5.2.1 (worked for both static and dynamic builds)

Does this answer your question?

If not, you should check the qt list and post there.

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.
