Hie, I am new to VTK.I want to use QVTKPluginWidget in Qt designer. I am using Visual Studio 2008 with MSVC compiler CMake- 2.8.10.1 Qt Version -4.8.3 VTK - 5.0
As per VTK User's Guide we have to configure VTK Lib with Cmake with setting few options like,
VTK_USE_GUISUPPORT=Turn On
configure
Desired Qt version cmake take itself
configure
then
set qt_qmake_executable
ON Build Example
configure
after doing this i am getting this warning in Cmake
CMake Warning (dev) at GUISupport/Qt/CMakeLists.txt:113 (ADD_LIBRARY):
Policy CMP0003 should be set before this line. Add code such as
if(COMMAND cmake_policy)
cmake_policy(SET CMP0003 NEW)
endif(COMMAND cmake_policy)
as early as possible but after the most recent call to
cmake_minimum_required or cmake_policy(VERSION). This warning appears
because target "QVTKWidgetPlugin" links to some libraries for which the
linker must search:
vfw32, opengl32
and other libraries with known full path:
C:/Qt/4.8.3/lib/QtGuid4.lib
E:/DebugLibrary/VtkBin/bin/Debug/vtkRendering.lib
CMake is adding directories in the second list to the linker search path
in
case they are needed to find libraries from the first list (for backwards
compatibility with CMake 2.4). Set policy CMP0003 to OLD or NEW to enable
or disable this behavior explicitly. Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0003"
for
more information.
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

Then have to build this library in Visual studio then Copy the QVTKPluginWidget.dll in Plugin/Designer Folder. Then we should get QVTKWidget in designer
But i am not getting that in designer after doing this process.Kindly help me.
You have to build VTK with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON (as described here http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Tutorials/QtSetup) to use the widget in Designer.
