I am not sure I follow why SetParameter won't work in your case. Something like following is what I often end up using for such cases.
<StringVectorProperty name="FileName" label="FileName" initial_string="FileName" command="SetParameter" animateable="1" default_values="" number_of_elements="1"> <Documentation></Documentation> <FileListDomain name="files"/> </StringVectorProperty> On Sun, Oct 12, 2014 at 2:00 PM, Jan Brezina <jan.brez...@tul.cz> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to use vtkPythonProgrammableFilter to implement a reader in > Python.
