Custom Properties won't show
Hey!
I'm trying to use custom properties in my visual but they won't show in the GUI. I don't know what is missing, following is the code I'm using for the properties:
capabilities.json:
"objects": {
"general": {
"displayName": "General",
"properties": {
"filter": {
"type": {
"filter": true
}
}
}
},
"dataPoint": {
"displayName": "Graph Settings",
"properties": {
"textSize": {
"displayName": "Text Size",
"type": {
"formatting": {
"fontSize": true
}
}
},
"filterSelfLoops": {
"displayName": "Filter selfloops",
"type": {
"bool": true
}
},
"useMultipleProcesses": {
"displayName": "Use multiple Processes",
"type": {
"bool": true
}
}
}
}
}visual.ts:
/**
* Interface for Flowchart Settings.
*
* @interface
* @property {} dataPoint - textSize => Change the fontsize.
* - filterSelfLoops => Activate to disable selfloops.
* - useMultipleProcesses => Active if you want to use multiple Processes.
*
*/
interface FlowchartSettings {
dataPoint: {
textSize: string;
filterSelfLoops: boolean;
useMultipleProcesses: boolean;
};
}
export class Visual implements IVisual {
private host: IVisualHost;
.
.
.
private flowChartSettings: FlowchartSettings; public enumerateObjectInstances(options: EnumerateVisualObjectInstancesOptions): VisualObjectInstanceEnumeration {
let objectName = options.objectName;
let objectEnumeration: VisualObjectInstance[] = [];
switch (objectName) {
case 'dataPoint':
objectEnumeration.push({
objectName: objectName,
properties: {
textSize: this.flowChartSettings.dataPoint.textSize,
filterSelfLoops: this.flowChartSettings.dataPoint.filterSelfLoops,
useMultipleProcesses: this.flowChartSettings.dataPoint.useMultipleProcesses,
},
selector: null
});
}
return objectEnumeration;
}
Thanks in advance for your help,

What value is in this.flowChartSettings? Do you parse values to fill FlowchartSettings interface?

Code looks good. Have you tried to restart pbiviz start and refresh the web page?

Yes I tried to restart the visual, I also tried it in different Browsers and the Desktop Version. I'm running the latest stable API Version (1.11.0).
Do you have any other ideas why it's not working?
