Thanks again for your reply.

I've already set a combo box from an input in the xml file in the plugin 
I'm developing and it works well, and the filters.xml file helped me a 
lot. The question is how to set it when the combo box is already inside 
my custom widget (it's currently a QComboBox declared in the Ui class of 
my custom widget). Can I still set the domain of this "sub-widget" 
through xml?

What I imagine I could do is to substitute the QComboBox by a 
pqIntVectorPropertyWidget and use a vtkSMEnumerationDomain somehow to 
make this widget be exhibited as a combobox with the correct strings 
from the input, but I don't see how.

I'm sorry about all these questions but I'm really struggling to 
understand the widgets/SM-objects/proxys/domains of ParaView code and 
how they interact with each other. :(

Best,

Ellon
