Hello,
During the interaction of our visual, the user may trigger a call to refreshHostData(). Shortly after execution of this, data in the host report is updated. This works fine, except if the user triggers refreshHostData() and then immediately manipulates the visual. It can lead to a "soft-lock" state.
I would think the solution is to detect when refreshHostData begins, lock user interactions, and then unlock when finished. However, it seems that refreshHostData() executes almost immediately, meaning that the update (indicated by the small loading icon in the corner) is executed by something else. If I had to guess, the chain probably goes: refreshHostData() => Update PowerBI => visuals are (re)updated
I don't know how to "track" when an update is coming to the visual and lock for interactions until it has happened. As far as I can tell, the IVisualHost update is only executed after the query.
Is it possible to "monitor" the effects of refreshHostData()? I can't find any documentation on it.
