[Paraview] String Drop Down XML

[Brian Panneton]

Nevermind. I figured it out.

I can use something similar to this:
[code]
            <StringVectorProperty
                name="PhaseNameInfo"
                command="GetPhaseList"
                information_only="1">
                <StringArrayHelper />
            </StringVectorProperty>
            <StringVectorProperty
                name="PhaseName"
                command="SetPhase"
                number_of_elements="1">
                <StringListDomain name="operation">
                    <RequiredProperties>
                        <Property name="PhaseNameInfo"
                            function="ArraySelection"/>
                    </RequiredProperties>
                </StringListDomain>
            </StringVectorProperty>
[/code]

and have two functions:
[code]
    void SetPhase(const char* phase);
    vtkStringArray* GetPhaseList();
[/code]

This seems to work.
