<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Hi,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Firstly apologies if this is the wrong place to post this king of thing.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I'm currently working on a reader plugin for paraview but I'm having a few issues with writing the XML for the GUI. the files I'm using contain multiple separate datasets and I'd like them to appear in a drop down box
of which only one is selectable. I've been looking at the wiki page here: <a href="https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Plugin_HowTo#Adding_GUI_Parameters" class="m_-8815375594064610374OWAAutoLink" id="m_-8815375594064610374LPlnk53477" target="_blank">https://www.paraview.<wbr>org/Wiki/ParaView/Plugin_<wbr>HowTo#Adding_GUI_Parameters</a> <wbr>and
various posts here but haven't been able to get exactly what I want working. I did manage to get the other drop down list working (the one where you can select/deselect each item). This uses some set and get methods in my reader's class and seemed to work
very well. Unfortunately I haven't been able to apply this to the drop down box where only a single item is selectable.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Could anybody explain to me how the XML works or point me towards a thorough resource?</p>
