So I have a dataset control on one tab and when I navigate away from it after initially loading I've noticed that the save event still fires updateView. Is there a way to prevent this?
Right so I can use trackContainerResize(true) and check the allocateWidth, but this doesn't seem like a good solution and introduces other problems. Is there no way for a control to see if its tab is active or the control's container's display status?
Hi @skoofy5 ,
I've checked, and it's true that the updateView is called once when the user leaves the tab.
Maybe as a workaround you could check the combination of... ?
context.updatedProperties === "layout" and context.mode.allocatedWidth === 0
@HemantG : The context.mode.isVisible property of a dataset PCF is always true, also when the user clicked on the other tab. Is this by design?
Hope this helps!
For me it's called every time the user saves the form subsequent to loading the control initially and I don't get the point of isVisible because, as you've noted, it always just seems to return as true.
