Re: [Paraview] upgrading reader module/plugin
Hi Utkarsh,
With many thanks to your hints, I also dug around to see what command_button
was doing and this corresponds nicely what I needed. I'll put it here for
anyone browsing the archives.
Cheers

void fireCommand(vtkSMProperty* prop)
{
vtkSMProxy* pxy = this->proxy();
prop->Modified();
pxy->UpdateProperty(pxy->GetPropertyName(prop));
}

{
vtkSMProxy* pxy = this->proxy();
prop->SetElement(0, checked); // Toogle bool
prop->Modified();
pxy->UpdateProperty(pxy->GetPropertyName(prop));

Mark,
After you've changed a property, you need to call
vtkSMProxy::UpdateVTKObjects() (or vtkSMProxy::UpdateProperty()) to
push those values for them to have any effect. However, in a panel,
you'd rather not do that.

Re: [Paraview] upgrading reader module/plugin
The SetImmediateUpdate seems be needed for cases where I do bypass the
addPropertyLink mechanism. Eg,
QCheckBox* b = new QCheckBox(this);
setButtonProperties(b, showPointNumbers_); //<- text, tips etc...
form->addWidget(b, 0, 1, Qt::AlignLeft);
connect(b, SIGNAL(toggled(bool)), this, SLOT(showPointNumbers(bool)));
showPointNumbers_->SetImmediateUpdate(true);
and then
void pqFoamBlockMeshControls::showPointNumbers(bool checked)
{
showPointNumbers_->SetElement(0, checked);
// Update the active view
if (this->view())
{
this->view()->render();
}
}
Without the SetImmediateUpdate, the toggle of the showPointNumbers property
doesn't get propagated to the reader until sometime later. Maybe the key is to
signal directly to the reader?

I don't think `SetImmediateUpdate` should be needed any more. Are you

Re: [Paraview] upgrading reader module/plugin
Hi Utkarsh,
The addPropertyLink works exactly as desired and triggers the necessary update
mechanism. For a few places I still have direct connect() to catch the signal
and do something additional with it, but that was expected. I don't know why I
still need an SetImmediateUpdate to get the changes propagated properly, but
that can wait. The most important thing is that I can now load my reader module
in paraview 5.2 and move forward.
Thank you,

As you can expect, connecting Qt widgets to vtkSMProperty's on proxies
in a two-way-link is common in ParaView panels and hence ParaView
provides quite a few ways for doing that. For your use-case, where
you're connecting a QCheckBox to an IntVectorProperty on the proxy,
your pqPropertyWidget subclass can do something like the following:
Assuming your XML for the group is as follows:
QCheckBox *checkbox = ...
vtkSMProperty* smProperty = smgroup->GetProperty("InterpolateFields");
this->addPropertyLink(checkbox, "checked", SIGNAL(toggled(bool), smProperty);
That should do it.

Re: [Paraview] upgrading reader module/plugin
Mark,
As you can expect, connecting Qt widgets to vtkSMProperty's on proxies
in a two-way-link is common in ParaView panels and hence ParaView
provides quite a few ways for doing that. For your use-case, where
you're connecting a QCheckBox to an IntVectorProperty on the proxy,
your pqPropertyWidget subclass can do something like the following:
Assuming your XML for the group is as follows:
QCheckBox *checkbox = ...
vtkSMProperty* smProperty = smgroup->GetProperty("InterpolateFields");
this->addPropertyLink(checkbox, "checked", SIGNAL(toggled(bool), smProperty);
That should do it.

[Paraview] upgrading reader module/plugin
I'm currently upgrading a reader module from using a pqAutoGeneratedObjectPanel
to a using a property group widget (as per
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo#Adding_Customizations_for_Properties_Panel).
I have my bunch of properties in a PropertyGroup and have a panel_widget
associated with them. Everything loads up, and using printf() I can verify that
the property values are all being updated.
However, not only does it seems rather clunky, I cannot get the "Apply" button
on the property panel to notice when the property values have been updated.
Here's a basic sketch of what I have:
// Get the property from the group (with down-cast):
interpolateFields_ = group->GetProperty("interpolate");
// Provide a checkbox as widget for it - two-column layout.
QCheckBox* b = new QCheckBox(prop->GetXMLLabel(), this);
form->addWidget(b, row, col, Qt::AlignLeft);
// Connect to slot:
connect(b, SIGNAL(toggled(bool)), this, SLOT(interpolateFields(bool)));
// This is ugly, but seems to be needed???
interpolateFields_->SetImmediateUpdate(true);
// And the slot itself
void interpolateFields(bool checked)
{
interpolateFields_->SetElement(0, checked);

I used to rely on the setModified() method from the pqAutoGeneratedObjectPanel,
but now can't seem to get from the SMproxy to the pqProxy or whatever.
Or am I going about this entirely the wrong way?
FWIW, here are the relevant sub-entries from the XML, in case there is
something missing there:

Unfortunately, the Examples/Plugins/PropertyWidgets is a bit scanty here.
Thanks for any advice,

Re: [Paraview] upgrading reader module/plugin
Second attempt at posting:
---
I'm currently upgrading a reader module from using a pqAutoGeneratedObjectPanel
to a using a property group widget (as per
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo#Adding_Customizations_for_Properties_Panel).
I have my bunch of properties in a PropertyGroup and have a panel_widget
associated with them. Everything loads up, and using printf() I can verify that
the property values are all being updated.
However, not only does it seems rather clunky, I cannot get the "Apply" button
on the property panel to notice when the property values have been updated.
Here's a basic sketch of what I have:
// Get the property from the group (with down-cast):
interpolateFields_ = group->GetProperty("interpolate");
// Provide a checkbox as widget for it - two-column layout.
QCheckBox* b = new QCheckBox(prop->GetXMLLabel(), this);
form->addWidget(b, row, col, Qt::AlignLeft);
// Connect to slot:
connect(b, SIGNAL(toggled(bool)), this, SLOT(interpolateFields(bool)));
// This is ugly, but seems to be needed???
interpolateFields_->SetImmediateUpdate(true);
// And the slot itself
void interpolateFields(bool checked)
{
interpolateFields_->SetElement(0, checked);
// this->setModified();
//^^^ used to work with pqAutoGeneratedObjectPanel
}
