Setting the Visible property from a Button

I have a gallery within my powerapp (GalleryApp) and I have a button in there which when pressed displays a drop down box. The problem I have is that when the Button is pressed every instance of the drop box appears all the way down the gallery. Is there a way that I can set the visible property on the drop box so that only the individual dropbox appears when the button is pressed?

Set a variable like on the click event like this
Set(ButtonPressed; true);; UpdateContext({ButtonPressed : !ButtonPressed}

Set this code on the component you want to make visible false and true.

If(ButtonPressed = true; true; false)

Im using a different language. So my ";" are "," probably in your version 🙂

I have tried this but it is still the same. It either shows every drop box in the gallery or hides every dropbox. I only want it to show or hide the indvidual instance

Hi @Station1901

Set the OnSelect property of your button to:

Select(Parent);UpdateContext({varBtnPressed:!varBtnPressed})

And the visible property of your dropdown to:

varBtnPressed && ThisItem.IsSelected

This should achieve what you're looking for 🙂

Thanks for getting back to me. This almost works, it does show & hide the dropdown box but if I click on a button further down the gallery it also shows & hides the other instances

Try setting the OnSelect property of the button to the following:

UpdateContext({varBtnPressed: false}); Select(Parent); UpdateContext({varBtnPressed:!varBtnPressed})

Have had a test my end with this and seems to be working, "moving" the dropdown to whichever gallery item is selected.
