Power Apps PCF - Reset component

Component.ts

...
export class SomeComponent implements ComponentFramework.StandardControl<IInputs, IOutputs> {
	
	private has_been_reset: boolean;
	...
	
	public init(context: ComponentFramework.Context<IInputs>, notifyOutputChanged: () => void, state: ComponentFramework.Dictionary, container:HTMLDivElement)
	{
		this.has_been_reset = false;
		...
	}
	...
	
	public updateView(context: ComponentFramework.Context<IInputs>): void
	{
		if(context.parameters.Reset.raw && !this.has_been_reset){
			this.has_been_reset = true;
			// do the clean up logic here
			...
		} else
			// Technically, this will be done on ANY change of a property, which we don't care about as long as 
			// it's also done on setting of the Reset property 
			this.has_been_reset = false;
		...
	}
	...

Manifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<manifest>
  <control ...>
    <property name="Reset" display-name-key="Reset" description-key="Reset from start" of-type="TwoOptions" usage="input" required="false" default-value="false"/>
    ...
  </control>
</manifest>

Power App code

// Declare in a code (on screen visible or something like that) a dummy reset variable
Set(DummyResetVariable, false);

// Bind your control's Reset property to a dummy reset variable
// In the Component's inspector set value of the property Reset to 

DummyResetVariable

// Now when you need to reset a control, set the dummy variable 

Set(DummyResetVariable, true);
Set(DummyResetVariable, false);

I see now. Sorry, it will not work and my bad publishing incorrect information. We can't set the property directly like that in PowerApps, we can set variables only. So, I've updated the gist as below, please let me know if it makes sense and works eventually for you.

// Declare in a code (on screen visible or something like that) a dummy reset variable
Set(DummyResetVariable, false);

// Bind your control's Reset property to a dummy reset variable
// In the Component's inspector set value of the property Reset to 

DummyResetVariable

// Now when you need to reset a control, set the dummy variable 

Set(DummyResetVariable, true);
Set(DummyResetVariable, false);

Thanks Andrew, this is the approach i took in the end. All working now. Thanks for your assistance.

Good to hear, thank you!

Hi Andrew,

default-value in manifest doesn't appear to load false when using the pcf watch

^^ updated. default-value is only support by model-driven and not canvasApp
