API Limitations#
The Display API currently has the following limitations
- Missing events
- Not notified when composite session becomes primary
- Not notified when compare mode settings change
- Not notified when parameter order changes
- Not notified when parameter properties change
- Missing UI helpers
- No access to custom converters (e.g. AtlasColorToSolidBrush)
- No access to custom property editors (e.g. AtlasColor property editor)
- No access to common context menu (e.g. Parameter Browser, Properties)
- No support for drag and drop of parameters
- No assistance with flow control
- Event driven only
- Update loop not supported
- No inflight data request handling (nor throttling)
- Event driven only
Tip
Some of these limitations (especially around flow control) are overcome within the View Model base classes provided by the Display Plugin Library
