Custom Events in PCF Components
Introduction In modern low-code development, Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) plays a vital role in enhancing the user interface and delivering rich interactive components. As part of building truly dynamic PCF components, one powerful capability is the event mechanism—especially custom events that allow developers to trigger and listen to component-specific behavior across the app. In this post, we'll explore how PCF components handle events, including how to raise and handle custom events. We’ll also look at practical use cases, implementation steps. What Are Events in PCF? Events in PCF enable components to communicate with the model-driven app form or other consumers of the control. Microsoft introduced support for custom event handling, allowing PCF control to: Raise events from within the control (e.g., on button click). Notify the hosting form or script when something changes in the control. Enable loosely coupled communication ...
