Limit combobox results to map extent

I'm using this thread as the base for my python addin toolbar.How to populate Add-In Combo Box with attributes

I was wondering if it was possible to limit the field unique values to whats in the map extent. There are thousands of unique values which doesn't take long to populate the combobox but to help the end user I would like to limit those to what's in the map extent.

Here's my python code so far.  You select the specific layer, then it sorts and pushes the unique values to a combobox. Once you select a feature from the drop down, it selects and zooms to that feature.

import arcpy
import pythonaddins


class leveeLayerListSelector(object):
    """Implementation for LeveeSearch_addin.comboboxLayerList (ComboBox)"""
    def __init__(self):
        self.items = []
        self.editable = True
        self.enabled = True
        self.dropdownWidth = 'WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW'
        self.width = 'WWWWWW'    
    def onEditChange(self, text):
        pass
    def onFocus(self, focused):
        if focused:  
            self.mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('current')  
            layers = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(self.mxd)  
            self.items = []  
            for layer in layers:  
                self.items.append(layer.name) 
    def onEnter(self):
        pass
    def refresh(self):
        pass
    def onSelChange(self, selection):
        global fc  
        fc = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(self.mxd, selection)[0]


    
class leveeSystemSelector(object):
    """Implementation for LeveeSearch_addin.comboboxLeveeSystem (ComboBox)"""
    def __init__(self):
        self.items = []
        self.editable = True
        self.enabled = True
        self.dropdownWidth = 'WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW'
        self.width = 'WWWWWW'
    def onSelChange(self, selection):
        self.mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('current')
        df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(self.mxd, "Layers") [0]
        arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(layer, "NEW_SELECTION", "System_Name = '" + selection + "'")
        df.zoomToSelectedFeatures()
        arcpy.RefreshActiveView()  
    def onEditChange(self, text):
        pass
    def onFocus(self, focused):        
        self.mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('current')
        global layer  
        layer = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(self.mxd, fc)[0]  
        self.items = []  
        values = [row[0] for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(layer, ["System_Name"])]  
        for uniqueVal in sorted(set(values)):  
            self.items.append(uniqueVal)  
    def onEnter(self):
        pass
    def refresh(self):
        pass

Did you see this post Dynamically Select Feature in Map with Python Addin

EDIT:

Looks like you'll need to add something similar to below

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('current')
df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0]
extent = df.extent
extentPoly = arcpy.Polygon(arcpy.Array([arcpy.Point(extent.XMin, extent.YMin), arcpy.Point(extent.XMin, extent.YMax), arcpy.Point(extent.XMax, extent.YMax), arcpy.Point(extent.XMax, extent.YMin)]))
arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management(yourlayer, 'intersect', extentPoly )
