[vtkusers] How to embed VTK rendering context into Windows Form

[Gib Bogle]

I use the same combination (and with ITK), and I agree, it works very well.

Since 2008 I use VTK and Qt with Visual Studio everyday at work. This
works very well. Instead of the Qt visual studio addon I use CMake to
generate my projects. These days I am using VS 2010 and Qt-4.8.6,
CMake 3.0 and VTK 5.10.

You need to enable Qt in CMake-gui
