    Hi WZorn,

    The shape map is a core visual, and as such has access to the properties pane that custom visuals do not. This type is currently not supported via the visual capabilities and suitable APIs would need to be provided by MS before it could be used by custom visual developers.

    I'd suggest you raise a feature request via the Github repository so the team are aware that it's a requirement and can see if they can add to an upcoming update.

    Regards,

    Daniel

    I figured that would likely be the case.  I really like the idea of using a file dialog box to select files.  I was hoping there might be a work around.
