The Tk widgets you see displayed are not directly created.  Look in 
GUI/Client/Resources/Readers.xml and similar files to see how the GUI 
components are configured.  To add a new widget with some special 
functionality you'll need to look at the other code in GUI/Client.  You 
can also get the ParaView Guide which has a developers section:
