[Paraview-developers] What widget is used for the the check box selection?

[Joshua Murphy]

Hello,

My Apologies.  I guess I did not state my question very well.

I am writing a custom Property Panel, and I have need for a tree-structure
widget with check-boxes for activation.  These are used in places such as
the array status selector, and the multi-block status/selector boxes.

I am trying to ascertain what widgets, within the ParaView source, are
utilized to make these selection boxes, so that I may call them for my own
Property panels (thus giving a continuity of style).

The following image shows what I am trying to get at.






If someone can point me to the source code to accomplish this, I would be
grateful!

Thanks

Josh
