Hi,
I have a problem with retrieving color from property pane in my custom visual. In my property pane, I have boolean and color, I can retrieve boolean by
<boolean>options.dataViews[0].metadata.objects["myCustomObj"]["myprop"];
but when I try to retrieve color, using
this.host.colorPalette.getColor(<string>options.dataViews[0].metadata.objects["myCustomObj"]["take_color"]).value
I have different color. What am I doing wrong?
Solved! Go to Solution.
this.host.colorPalette.getColor
Generates a new color by identity. Please use options.dataViews[0].metadata.objects["myCustomObj"]["take_color"] instead (please laso note the value is an object. Please consider a proper handling).
