Hello everyone! For my latest project I needed two code components I really enjoyed building them. Only on one I would have liked to use power apps OnSelect property so I could use the Select() function to trigger my component inside an other. I found a way around it using a boolean input to trigger my select event inside the component but was wondering if there is a better way. On my search I found this post : Solved: Re: Add an OnSelect Property to a PCF for canvas a... - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

Which is really cool, but not recommended for production yet. The Error Codes

[pcf-1053] [Error] Event definitions are not supported.
[pcf-1056] [Error] OnSelect is a reserved system event name, use common-event OnSelect instead.

Seem to promise that OnSelect will be useable in the future. I just could not find any official resources about the current progress of development. Do you know any resources?

@dukatz you can check the second accepted answer from a thread you mentioned - https://98.codes/a-workable-pattern-for-pcf-events-you-can-use-today/

This approach is supported and might be used.

Hi @dukatz ,

I know the PCF npm packages are not updated with events. On the other side, the CreatorKit is using it; I don't expect it to break... Also, the events are documented in the PCF docs.

Of course, I cannot promise anything, but in case you want to use your own events you can add a featureconfig.json to your project, like I did in the solution you've posted above.
https://github.com/brasov2de/ToDosDataGridFluent9/blob/main/featureconfig.json

The OnSelect is reserved, so I guess you should rename your event, and you're good to go.
