Question 1

What is a PCF control and why would I need one?

Accepted Answer

A PCF (PowerApps Component Framework) control is a custom UI component that replaces or extends the standard fields and grids in Dynamics 365 and Power Apps. You need a PCF control when out-of-the-box fields cannot handle your workflow - for example, when you need a drag-and-drop Kanban board, a color-coded status indicator, a rich JSON viewer, or any interactive element that standard form controls do not support. PCF controls are built with TypeScript and React, run natively inside the Power Apps runtime, and are fully supported by Microsoft.

Question 2

Are Solzet PCF controls free to use?

Accepted Answer

Most of them. The controls marked Free on this page are free to download and use in your Dynamics 365 and Power Apps environments. Premium controls, currently the Kanban Board and Map View, are licensed; where a list price is published it is shown on the card, otherwise contact us for licensing. We publish free controls to demonstrate our PCF development capabilities and to contribute to the Microsoft Power Platform community. If you need a custom control built to your specific requirements, we offer dedicated PCF development as a paid service.

Question 3

Can Solzet build a custom PCF control for my specific requirements?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Custom PCF development is one of our core specializations. We build controls for data visualization (charts, maps, timelines), interactive grids and boards, form enhancements (multi-select, tag inputs, conditional formatting), and integration with external APIs. Every custom control is built with TypeScript and React, tested across Dynamics 365 environments, and delivered with full source code and documentation.

Question 4

How do I install a PCF control in my Dynamics 365 environment?

Accepted Answer

Each control page includes a downloadable managed solution (.zip) file. Import the solution through the Power Apps maker portal (Settings → Solutions → Import), then configure the control on the desired form field through the form editor. Detailed installation instructions are provided on each control detail page. If you need assistance with deployment, our team can help.

Question 5

What technologies are Solzet PCF controls built with?

Accepted Answer

All Solzet PCF controls are built with TypeScript and React following Microsoft PowerApps Component Framework standards. We use the Fluent UI component library for consistent look and feel with the Dynamics 365 interface. Controls are compiled as standard PCF solution packages compatible with both model-driven and canvas app environments.
