Ok, I'm still not having much luck with creating my own proxy group and associated menu. Using the 3.11.1 code from the git i have the following menu builder routine:<BR>
<BR>
void pqParaView2MenuBuilders::buildFiltersMenu(QMenu& menu, QMainWindow* mainWindow)<BR>
{<BR>
pqProxyGroupMenuManager* mgr = new pqProxyGroupMenuManager(&menu, "ParaViewFilters2");<BR>
mgr->addProxyDefinitionUpdateListener("filters2");<BR>
mgr->setRecentlyUsedMenuSize(10);<BR>
<BR>
new pq2FiltersMenuReaction(mgr);<BR>
pqPVApplicationCore::instance()->registerForQuicklaunch(&menu);<BR>
}<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
And a plugin filter specified as <BR>
<BR>
<ProxyGroup name="filters2"><BR>
<SourceProxy name="MyElevationFilter" class="vtkMyElevationFilter" label="MyElevation"><BR>
...<BR>
</ProxyGroup><BR>
<BR>
The pq2FiltersMenuReaction class is a copy of the class pqFiltersMenuReaction. <BR>
<BR>
I have discovered at least one area where things are going wrong. For some reason the new menu manager class is not created with any actions so the foreach loop in the updateEnableState is never entered.<BR>
<BR>
pqProxyGroupMenuManager* mgr =<BR>
static_cast<pqProxyGroupMenuManager*>(this->parent());<BR>
mgr->setEnabled(enabled);<BR>
bool some_enabled = false;<BR>
<BR>
foreach (QAction* action, mgr->actions())<BR>
{<BR>
... [ never goes in here ]<BR>
}<BR>
<BR>
Any suggestions? Is there anything special you need to define to initialize your own proxy groups either in the plugin or as part of the main app?<BR>
<BR>

<FONT COLOR="#000000">> You are on the right track. Any proxy registered in the "filters" group from the plugins will automatically end up in the "Filters" menu, there's no way around it. The solution would be create a new group for your filters that's being shown in your menu. Theoretically, it should work, but I don't think we test it, but definitely worth a try.</FONT>
