Sorry for the late reply.

 

It is possible to achieve what I was trying to do. What I had in mind is I have a button on my Power BI report. When I click on the button, a popup appears in the application where my Power BI report is embedded. So I wanted the application to recieve an event trigger when the Power BI report button is pressed. This was achieved using a custom visual that I wrote. The visual simply passed a string value to the parent windows so that I was able to recieve the event.

    v-viig Please can you confirm if this is possible? Looks like the sandboxed iframe is intercepting messages between the parent window and the custom visuals, to ensure only a certain list of events are handled.

    Is there a way to define custom events for communication between the parent and the custom visuals?
