Hello!  
I have a group of widgets in my custom filter

And one of these widgets changes some values in the filter and also calls some functions which trigger modification of other variables displayed on other widgets. But there values are not updated.

How to force update widget values after every time some over widget is end being edited?

Thank u  
Best regards,  
Mike

</div>

Could it be achived as follows?

```
	<StringVectorProperty
	   name="X"
	   command="GetX"
	   number_of_elements="1"
	   default_values="0 0 0"
	</StringVectorProperty>

```

Thanks!

Im afraid I do not understand the usecase, please share some XML code.

```auto
	<StringVectorProperty
	   name="X"
	   command="GetX"
	   number_of_elements="1"
	   default_values="0 0 0"
	</StringVectorProperty>

```

This looks like an information property missing the `information_only` .

</div>

When the information\_only is used?

It can be used for many things, including:

- providing information about the timesteps a reader provide in the ParaView UI
- updating another widgets domain

The second point may be what you are looking for but Im not sure because I do not understand your usecase yet.
