[Paraview] ParaView crashes trying to access property of Custom Reader

[Mike Jackson]

Ok. That finally worked. Although it shows a non-editable text field.  
Wouldn't a QLabel be more intuitive to use for this?

Also, in PV 2.6 there was some sort of widget like a "Box" or  
something that you could use to group other widgets together. Is that  
still available?

Thanks for the help.
Mike
