Sorry if I was not clear. I already have implemented custom visuals before. What I cannot do is find a way to RE-USE an existing control so that my control can behave consistently with other Power BI controls.

Does that make better sense?

You should use any custom library to render custom dropdown with checkboxes.

 

Actually this questions goes out of this forum.

    That is exactly what we ARE doing because that is our only option. However, for a consistent UI it would be far better if there were a way to re-use the power BI standard controls within our custom visual.

    PBI constrols are not available for custom visuals. You have to align styles manually.
