Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi,

Could you please suggest how to do it ?

I want to make the border of the TextInput to be visiable while it is readonly/disabled for specific user. While the TextInput is readonly/disabled the border is not appearing, the border disappears.

Want to show the border of the TextInput visible while it can be editable or ReadOnly.

It means your border is already small or set to Zero.
So select the textbox and on the BorderThickness property increase it to say 3.
With this if it is disabled, the border show.------------

Hi @Anonymous ，

Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

Do you want to show up the Border of the Text Input box when this Text Input Box is in Read-Only or Disabled?

Based on the needs that you mentioned, I have made a test, if you want to show up the Border of the Text Input box when this Text Input Box is in Read-Only or Disabled, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs.

When the Text Input Box is in View Mode or Disabled mode, the Border of the Text Input Box would disappear. If you would like this feature to be added in PowerApps, please submit an idea to PowerApps Ideas Forum:

As an alternative solution, I think a Rectangle icon could achieve your needs. You could consider add a Rectangle icon in your app, set the BorderThickness property to following:

TextInput1.BorderThickness

set the Fill property to following:

RGBA(255, 255, 255, 1)

Then you need to move the Text Input box over the Rectangle icon as below:

Please take a try with above solution, check if it could help in your scenario.

Best regards,

Hi, I know this thread is old but I've encountered a similar issue where I have view only text inputs, and hopefully my approach helps others.

My solution:
Set your text-inputs to edit (this way the border will disappear)
set the Tab Index of the text-input to -1 (this way the user can't tab to the text input)
Add an HTML-text object, clear its html text and overlay it over the text-input.

This way although the input is set to edit, the user can't click on it or tab to it.
