[Paraview-developers] Changing context menu of a view from a plugin

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Jerome,

To get rid of the existing behavior, you can do something like:

delete mainWindow->findChild<pqPipelineContextMenuBehavior*>()

> I also would like the buildMenu function to be called everytime, not

That may need some restructuring, since ParaView doesn't want this. We
want the "view-based" context menu when clicking in empty spaces. But
it's doable.

Some representations such as slice/outline cannot be selected yet.
Since the context menu depends on the selection mechanism, it cannot
work unless that feature is implemented. I has been in our todo list
for sometime, but has not been high on the priority queue.
