Hi n0gare,

 

Can you clearly describe what you are trying to achieve ?

Let's assume that you have a stacked bar chart for Product Sales as per the image below. What do you want the chart to do ?

Hi djnww,

 

Let's assume chairs, coffee and books are our products, that we visualize.

So by the look at the visual the user gets a rough overview about the products. but to get further, more specific information, the user can open a contextmenu (with a right click on the object) with links/url to the web.

The link/url for each product would be provided form the (Excel) table, that is used to create the visualization.

As I was looking for help, I found some examples of how I want it to look like. But the approach that was used there is not working. 

To add a context menu like in the image below, would be great.

 

Best regards!

    n0gare,

     

    To add such a new feature to a custom visual, you may submit an idea or leave a comment at GitHub.

      Hey Sam,

       

      I tried to add a ContextMenu for quite some time and the only thing I was able to do is to add the basic html contextMenu. The funny thing is that it only worked in a web browser.

      Well anyway thank you for your suggestions, I am currentyl thinking about my next step.
