[vtkusers] QVTKwidget issue

[Ashish Singh]

Hi,

I am trying to display each slice from a series of CT scans in a QVTKwidget.
The QVTKWidget itself is in a QMainWindow with 2 other widgets to browse and
load the data. I want to be able to display the data in QVTKwidget as soon
as I hit the load button. I can read the data fine, but it doesn't display
in QVTKwidget until I click or interact with QVTKwidget using mouse. Can
anyone please tell me what am I missing here?

I am working on a Windows system and using VTK version 5.2.1 with Visual
Studio 2005 and Qt 4.5

Thanks,
Ashish
