[vtkusers] VTK 6.0 with Visual Studio

[Joseph Melnyk]

I built VTK in debug mode and got a bit more information.  The debugger doesn't trace into VTK, it just outputs the following to the output console:
	Generic Warning: In ..\..\..\VTK6.0.0\Rendering\Core\vtkRenderer.cxx, line 47
	Error: no override found for 'vtkRenderer'.
	Generic Warning: In ..\..\..\VTK6.0.0\Rendering\Core\vtkRenderWindow.cxx, line 35
	Error: no override found for 'vtkRenderWindow'

Which are the respective lines:
	vtkAbstractObjectFactoryNewMacro(vtkRenderer)
	vtkAbstractObjectFactoryNewMacro(vtkRenderWindow)

This occurs when I try to execute the following line: 
	vtkSmartPointer<vtkContextView> view = vtkSmartPointer<vtkContextView>::New();

Note that I am doing the autoinit as follows: 
	#define vtkRenderingCore_AUTOINIT 4(vtkInteractionStyle,vtkRenderingFreeType,vtkRenderingFreeTypeOpenGL,vtkRenderingOpenGL)
	#define vtkRenderingVolume_AUTOINIT 1(vtkRenderingVolumeOpenGL)

This is defined within the header file of any class using VTK.

If you build your VTK Debug you you should see more.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I can't trace directly into the vtk dll's for more information.  The stack trace just tells me where they've failed in the .h file, which is just the New() call.

As I said, some objects will instantiate and can be used just fine.  For example, I can use vtkTable and vtkFloatArray just fine but then when I try to use vtkContextView or vtkInteractorStyleTrackballCamera, the New() event fails.
