Check if user has disabled tooltips

superspandl — Tue, 31 May 2022 18:21:21 GMT

Is there a way to find out if the user has disabled tooltips in a custom visual?

I want to make the check to decide if an element in my visualization requires a special cursor or not.

Small detail, but visuals without filters and tooltips should not have pointer as cursors.

Thanks.

Hi @superspandl,

In a custom visual you can only request that Power BI display a tooltip; not read the state of any properties from this menu. Tooltips (and other settings under the General properties of a visual) are applied to the developer host rather than the internal iframe and as such cannot be communicated with unless there is an API to do so.

There is an open issue for this idea here - I'd suggest adding any feedback to it to help boost its visibility with the team.

Regards,

Daniel

Thanks Daniel,

Very precise answer. I will stop searching and add a note to the suggested feature request.
