Create Custom visuals - Set bar color

Hello All,

 

I am developing custome visual for Stack bar chart and I am facing issue while implementing color palette, 

 

I have added color palette successfully but not able to save its value and retrive it in bar. 

 

Once we select color from palette it will again set as default.

 

Below is my code snipet from custom visual.

 

let colorPalette: IColorPalette = hst.colorPalette;
            if (this.ColumnValues.length > 0 ) 
            {
                for(var i=0; i < this.ColumnValues.length; i++) 
                {
                    let defaultColor: Fill = {
                        solid: {
                            color: colorPalette.getColor(this.ColumnValues[i] + '').value
                        }
                    };
                    var objn  = { FieldName: this.ColumnValues[i] };
                    
                    objn["Color"] = Visual.getCategoricalObjectValue<Fill>(this.ColumnValues[i], i, 'colorSelector', 'fill', defaultColor).solid.color,
                    objn["LegendLabel"] = this.ColumnValues[i];
                    objn["selectionId"] = Visual.getSelectionIds(element.dataViews[0],hst)
                    this.stackOriginalFields.push(objn);
                }
            }

			public enumerateObjectInstances(options: EnumerateVisualObjectInstancesOptions): VisualObjectInstanceEnumeration {
            let objectName = options.objectName;
            let objectEnumeration: VisualObjectInstance[] = [];                
            var c = this.stackOriginalFields;
            
			 switch(objectName) {
			 case 'colorSelector':
                    for (let barDataPoint of c) {

It seems this issue is related to:

selector:barDataPoint.selectionId

But Power BI host expects a Selector not SelectionId. To fix this issue we would recommned to use:

selector:barDataPoint.selectionId.getSelector()
