[Paraview] Create a Drop Down Menu for a Custom Filter that takes its entries from arrays of all inputs

[Cory Quammen]

Evan,

1.  Is it possible to populate the drop-down menu with the array names from
> a specific input?

Yes, it should be possible, with some finagling. Take a look at the
RibbonFilter in
ParaViewCore/ServerManager/SMApplication/Resources/filters.xml. In the
Input property, an InputArrayDomain is defined - actually, two are defined,
but the point is they are named differently and referred to differently in
the ArrayListDomains in the SelectInputScalars and SelectInputVectors
properties.

In your case, I would try to define two inputs as two different properties,
define at least the one InputArrayDomain in the input property for the
input from which you want the arrays, and use that in your ArrayListDomain.
If you are talking about picking the input first and then the array from
the chosen input, I'm not sure how to do that.

Hmm, not sure about that one. Probably not without some
modifications/additions to the ParaView code.

HTH,
Cory
