[vtkusers] How to introduce the VTK in the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 MFC

[小小]

John ，Thank you for your reply
     I have already built VTK  .  But  how to use cmake to build MFC projects still do not understand.
    1.Suppose I have established the MFC single document project. This is  name" VTK_ext". Delete  VTK_ext.sln  and VTK_ext.ncb
    2.To find a file  ,its name is CMakeLists.txt  in VTK  DIR  (D:\vtk\vtk\Examples\GUI\Win32\vtkMFC\vtkSDI),
and modify this file. ( VTK_ext  instead of  vtkSDI ) .
   3.start Cmake.  soure code : "D:/Documents/Visual Studio 2008/Projects/VTK_ext"   (CMakeLists.txt  copy of this folder)
                          build  the  binaries: "D:/Documents/Visual Studio 2008/Projects/VTK_ext/VTK_ext"
     configure---> Generate--->
  4. Use  vc2008 to open  VTK_ext.sln    ,  press  F5 ,Pop-up window   (title is Executable For Debug Session)
   The above method which is not correct, please advice!
