Different Values in Update Function's options.type

Anonymous — Tue, 22 Nov 2022 21:30:35 GMT

Hi,

While developing a custom visual, I noticed the update function's option.type property contains values that are not defined in the TypeScript definitions.

On the very first load, the type has a value of 254. The ResizeEnd value is 36 instead of 32.

Does 254 mean the first load?

This is what I have as the type definitions.

const enum VisualUpdateType { Data = 2, Resize = 4, ViewMode = 8, Style = 16, ResizeEnd = 32, All = 62, }

Hi @Anonymous ,

As far as I know, 254 should be the VisualupdateType which should be supplied in the VisualUpdateOptions.

Hi @Anonymous,

254 is currently unknown to us from an API perspective, and it is assumed that it is the first update based on analysis. There is an issue here tracking it, so you are welcome to add your feedback here. I ask MS to address it any time I get an opportunity to check-in with the team for support and it's still ongoing. The issue also shows a (somewhat hacky) way of type checking it.

The 36 type isn't explicitly mentioned in the above issue, but this appears to be a bug in the API with the enum and it should either be 32, or the API needs to be changed to match it. I created a PR here for that proposed change which has again been sitting there for MS to approve.

Regards,

Daniel
