Last week I was just browsing to PCF sdk, in order to post a link for an answer in the Power Apps Community Forum, and I've landed to "EntityRecord". I had the feeling that something was different, so I had a look to the methods available there: Wait.... What...? Can we change and save with... Continue Reading →
I wanted to have look to the new announced Side Panes in model-driven apps. I've read some blogs, but until I don't try things out, I don't have the feeling that I really know what's about. It's still a preview, but maybe my test will help you get a feeling about what's possible... and get... Continue Reading →
Don’t worry, the HTML web resources for model-driven are not deprecated. I just don’t believe that I will ever make new ones again. But there is that old problem of ClientGlobalContext deprecation. The ClientGlobalContext is an aspx site which we used to include in every HTML web resource in order to get access to information... Continue Reading →
In-app notification announcement was very promising. Of course, I had to try it out right away. It's a preview feature, but the docs are already very detailed. We find there how to activate this feature per app and discover a lot of interesting examples on how to send notifications using form scripting. Basically, all we... Continue Reading →
In the last blog I've written about how to make Custom Pages. When you develop more complex Custom Pages you probably have to make changes to the page and play the app to check if it's working accordingly. But then I've got only notifications telling me to refresh to app, but wasn't able to tame... Continue Reading →
This week the Custom Pages were released to public preview: here the official blog. This is a huge step towards having only one app type; not having to decide which App type to choose. But it also means, that we finally get the low-code possibilities right inside the model-driven apps. Aaaand.. we don't have to... Continue Reading →
The Microsoft Power Platform 2021 release wave 2 is out. There are so many features which I really love: from user experience improvements, low code and pro dev features. My highlights are about the new possibilities to build apps and the features towards the transition to converged app. And of course the PCFs features, the... Continue Reading →
When I've heard about the Preview for Power Platform Extension for Visual Studio Code (announcement) , it seemed to me that it was all about using Power Apps CLI (pac) inside Visual Studio Code. But the "pac cli" could be used inside the VSCode Terminal without the extension too. I did that ever since I'm... Continue Reading →
Can you believe the featured image is a form? A model-driven form with a PCF on it, and nothing else? Lately I've saw in the docs an excelent article on best practices for model-driven forms: "Design forms for efficiency". Right to the end, there is a part about letting a control expand to the whole... Continue Reading →
The getOutputs method of the PCF components seems pretty self-explaining: (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/reference/control/getoutputs) It is called by the framework prior to a component receiving the new data. Returns an object based on nomenclature defined in manifest, expecting objects[s] for the property marked as bound or output. I was a little unsure about the possibility of PCF components to set the... Continue Reading →
