You don't necessarily need to do a lot of heavy coding.

One simple way to transfer variable length data such as the list of selected zone ids from client to server is via a string vector property. On the client side you will need a custom panel that handles serialization of the list of zones into the string vector property. On the server side parse the string during request data phase. A format like:

"nZoneIds Zone1Id Zone2Id ... ZoneNId".

Would do the trick, and would be compatible with PV state.

Hi,

I have a reader and would like to have a list box in the object panel to select which zones to read in from the file. The number of zones can change depending on the file. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to do this? My ideas were:

    * add a new vtkSM*Domain
          o I don't think this is possible in a plugin because
            pqSMAdaptor needs to be updated for any new class (is that
            right?)
    * create a custom panel and have one information only property to
      get the number of zones and another property to set the zones
          o would the set property need to be a string that I put
            comma-separated zone indexes or is there a way to change
            the number of elements in an integer vector?

Thanks in advance,
Paul
