[Paraview-developers] Panel widget combo box not reading enumerationdomain xml

[Cory Quammen]

David,

I think you might need

      this->addPropertyLink(
        adaptor, "currentText", SIGNAL(currentTextChanged(QString)),
smproperty);
      this->setChangeAvailableAsChangeFinished(true);

instead of the property link you have provided. You may also need to
populate the combobox with the XML values explicitly. See
pqIntVectorPropertyWidget.cxx:156-178 for how the standard combobox
with an enumeration domain works. That ought to help you out with your
custom widget.

Hope that helps,
Cory
