Bring PowerApps Component Framekwork (PCF) to PowerApps Portal

Submitted on ‎07-03-2019 04:32 PM Submitted by Advocate IV on ‎07-03-2019 04:32 PM
Currently, customisation of PowerApps/Dynamics portal heavily relies on JavaScript. PCF is coming to canvas app too.   Please bring PCF to PowerApps portal, making it one component framework to rule all model-driven app, cavas app, and PowerApps portal, in the future.     ... View more

Allow a PCF field component to flag a field as invalid and stop page save.

Submitted on ‎06-03-2019 05:54 AM Submitted by Solution Sage on ‎06-03-2019 05:54 AM
Based on Use SetNotification to show error messages?  could I suggest that you make it possible for a powerapp component framework field component to flag it's value as invalid and stop the page from saving until the error is corrected    I understand that this is currently possible using the clientapi but that requires additional work and a code (Javascript) or low code (Business rules) solution where this method would allow a zero code solution where the only thing required would be to add the field to the form, change the field type to the component and add the appropriate validation within the controls parameters / configuration. ...

[Idea] Harness should use standard CRM font

Submitted on ‎05-31-2019 11:22 AM Submitted by on ‎05-31-2019 11:22 AM
I’ve noticed the font and sizes aren’t taking the standard CRM Fonts and Sizes. I could add this into the CSS class but it would be better if fonts are inherited. ... View more

Basic font and style alignment for the test harness is complete .

 

We are working on the PCF controls theming and these capabilities will be added to the test harness too as they are released.

Enable binding to OOB Address Fields

Submitted on ‎06-15-2019 03:57 PM Submitted by Advocate II on ‎06-15-2019 03:57 PM
While experimenting with PCF development I have noticed that it is not currently possible to bind properties to the OOB address fields (e.g. address1_line1, address2_line1, etc).   Could this be enabled? As currently, the only workarounds are to duplicate the address fields on the entity and then how JavaScript and/or workflow to synchronise the data between the fields, or to use the webapi to retrieve and update values. ...

The bug is resolved and changes should be available in production .

PCF: WebApi and Metadata Requests inside harness

Submitted on ‎06-18-2019 03:29 AM Submitted by Super User on ‎06-18-2019 03:29 AM
For PCF development, can you please provide a way to use the sdk WebApi and Utility.getEntityMetadata inside the harness. This could be some ideas for this purpose, but maybe you have some more: Of course a "fake parser" based on some sample data would be best (something like FakeXrmEasy does for PlugIns (https://dynamicsvalue.com/home), because this way we could make also unitests. There could be some other scenarios like have a connection to a CRM/CDS System somewhere. Maybe the fastest workarround would be to allow us to know at least that the page is running inside harness (some property somewhere); this way we could provide some error handling with sample data. It's not a nice approach, but maybe this could be usefull also for other stuff too (like fake context) Best regards, Diana ... View more

You can acheive the same by using type ‘enum’  as following - 

 

A sample property l

    <property name="EnableFiltering" display-name-key="CC_Allow_Filtering" description-key="CC_Allow_Filtering_Desc" usage="input" of-type="Enum" required="false" hidden="true">

      <value name="Yes" display-name-key="CC_Enable_Filtering" description-key="CC_Enable_Filtering_Desc">yes</value>

      <value name="No" display-name-key="CC_Disable_Filtering" description-key="CC_Disable_Filtering_Desc" default="true">no</value>

    </property>

 

I will mark the idea as under review and not resolved so that we can see if there is interest inmaking this first class.

PCF: standard PowerApp CSS classes for component

Submitted on ‎06-19-2019 03:37 PM Submitted by Advocate I on ‎06-19-2019 03:37 PM
Including own CSS with custom control is nice, but this prevent the control from changing with the L&F of the App it is used in. Would be great if a list of CSS-classes were available to use in controls, where the actual styling is controlled by the parent App. This should include font (family, size, color), bordercolor, backgroundcolor, etc. ...

Custom control framework support for Canvas Apps

Submitted on ‎06-18-2019 02:31 AM Submitted by Advocate II on ‎06-18-2019 02:31 AM
Hi everybody,  there are some limitations of the standard controls in Canvas Apps (example: Radius properties are only available on text inputs not on combobox inputs) and in some cases you have do work with some "ugly stuff" to create something like a treeview control (it is possible but not that beautiful from a developer perspective).    So I would like to suggest to make the custom control framework (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/create-custom-controls-using-pcf) also available fot PowerApps Canvas and not only ModelDriven.    With this we could really create a bunch of new cool apps and there could be a "marketplace" to share new custom controls with each other.  ...

These options are added to the test harness. There is some future work to show the optimized rendering but since the control viewport is not known (entire screen is not control) we are evalauting options to make it configurable.

[PCF Idea]:Formulas and Functions for PCF Controls

Submitted on ‎07-09-2019 03:55 AM Submitted by on ‎07-09-2019 03:55 AM
Need support for formulas and functions in PCF Controls that be used in Control properties like in Canvas apps. Since in future, PCF will be used for both Canvas and Model driven apps, it will be great if the function names and functionality are similar to what we have in Canvas Apps.   Also, here are the links to my  article, which shows an example of how to implement formulas and functions for Color Grid in PCF. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6553697681657692160/ https://srirambalajitech.blogspot.com/2019/07/color-grid-pcf-control.html?_sm_au_=iVVVfR9LFVFTLjHj   ... View more
Status: Completed

Controls at a level below the expressions, formulas and Client Apis. 

Canvas PCF support is already in the preview and we have expressions supported there for PCF.

 

Going fwd we will have the custom pages in the model apps which will support expressions on the model PCF. 

Also there is work in progress to enable PCFs to delcare the events inthe properties like onClick and expose these to formulas .

 

Please let me know if I need to repoen this to to track any specific ask as the idea is really broad. Or please log a new one

Allowing access to PCFControl instance from client API

Submitted on ‎07-03-2019 08:53 AM Submitted by Advocate I on ‎07-03-2019 08:53 AM
Per forum thread https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/PowerApps-Component-Framework/Form-designer-setting-additional-methods-and-scripting-of-PCF/m-p/312074#M534   Basically, I am looking for scripting capability of PCFControls in forms. The solution can be just one extra method in the parent control instance to return the reference of the PCF. If the PCF is export class DogPCFControl implements ComponentFramework.StandardControl<IInputs, IOutputs> { .. getOutPut(){ } // additional custom method we'd like to expose to client public bark():void { alert("woof"); } } in client API:   var ctrl = formContext.getControl ("someattribute"); if (ctrl.getControlType() == "customcontrol:MyNameSpace.DogPCFControl") { var mypcf= ctrl.getCustomControl(); // this is the asked feature, and can be generic enough with minimal API change mypcf.bark(); } ... View more
Status: Declined

Client APIs for the control work irrespective of the PCF or the native PCF OOB control. We are looking into makeing the controls more expression aware and also add eventing in future. ClientAPIs support expansion is not planned at this point.

[PCF Idea] Custom Property Editor

Submitted on ‎06-26-2019 12:52 AM Submitted by on ‎06-26-2019 12:52 AM
Provide PCF  creators the facility to implement a custom editor for properties. Thinking of something along the lines of UITypeEditor in Windows Forms. For example, Color property will have a property editor will show a modal form with color picker.   Reference links https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.drawing.design.uitypeeditor?view=netframework-4.8 https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/14823/ColorEditorEx-An-extension-to-the-ColorEditor-to-s ...

Status: Planned

Custom property editor and way to enable the control creators to define the authoring time expereince is important , esp in the canvas apps targeting citizen developers.   We have done some engineering investments to let control makers define the right properties authoring experiences and are right now being utilized by 1st party PCF controls like AI builder and Power MR. This will be made available externally in future releases.
