VTK libraries can be either DLL's or static libraries on windows. <br>
However, I don't see what that has to do with which MFC library you<br>
should be using. It sounds like the memory leak is in MFC
and<br>
has nothing to do with VTK. If you made a test case without
VTK but<br>
used the MFC dll would it still leak? (I would make sure the test
case<br>
used OpenGL, if it did not leak without it)<br>

<font face="arial" size=2>The cause of these memory leaks relates to
using the MFC library as a shared DLL. So to avoid memory leaks you must
use the MFC library as a statically linked library. However, the MCF App
Wizard, by default, selects using the library as a shared DLL, so when
creating a project make sure to click on the As a statically linked
library radio button in the IDE. When building an SDI or a MDI
application this is Step 5 in the MFC App Wizard and for a Dialog
application, this is Step 3.<br>
