[Paraview] How to push a value to the ServerManager so it gets pushed down to the Server

[Nehme Bilal]

If the elements you want to display in you combobox are always the same,
simply use:

   <IntVectorProperty
     name="ActiveDimension"
     command="SetActiveDimension"
     number_of_elements="1"
     default_values="0">
        <EnumerationDomain name="enum">
          <Entry value="1" text="X"/>
          <Entry value="2" text="Y"/>
          <Entry value="3" text="Z"/>
        </EnumerationDomain>
   </IntVectorProperty>

and then rename you combobox to "ActiveDimension" in qt designer.

That's should be enough to do what you are looking for.

If you want to fill dynamically your combobox depending on some inputs, it's
harder than that but can be done.

for you first question, you can always use immediate_update=1 instead of
information_only to make sure that your value is pushed immediately to the
server.
