Mobile Layout

Is there a way to know when a custom visual is being rendered inside the mobile layout? Like some boolean inside VisualUpdateOptions for example.

Hi @wolfgang2,

You can switch to the mobile layout in your Power BI desktop or Power BI service designer and have a look in the Page visuals pane.

That should show which visuals haven't been added to the mobile layout yet.

I was talking about the code. How do I know programmatically that the visual is now in mobile layout. The VisualUpdateOptions object has flags for focus mode etc but no info regarding mobile layout. I am developing a custom visual that needs to be rendered differently in mobile layout.

Apologies, I misunderstood. I thought this was an interface related question. My bad.

Not sure if their is one specific attribute for this. However, you might be able to figure this out be the touch related events mentioned in this section of the documentation. I assume an event like touchmove typically happens on a mobile layout.
