Hi

 

I have added a choice field(dropdown) to my app that has three choices in it.

For on of these choices, I am looking for a way, to make a dialog box popup when select it.

 

I am thinking this is something you can do with the "OnSelect" but how to actually achieve this is not so obvious to me.

Has anyone in here tried making a popup like this before?

 

Regards

    1. Insert a rectangle Icon (Enlarge it to your desire)

     

    2.  OnVisible of the screen,

    Set(varShowPop,false)
     
    3. OnSelect of the Dropdown put:
    Set(varShowPop,true)
     
    4. On The Rectangle Visible put:
    varShowPop
     
    Give further explanation to proceed further

    Hi Eka,

     

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    So far so good, seems pretty simply and not getting any errors.

    The rectangle is still visible though, so I need to make this rectangle visible only when I select a specific option in the dropdown and a way to close the rectangle box again.

    Hi @MichaelBL ,

     

    Just try to modify Steps 3 of @eka24 's workaround, add a If condition to check if the you select a specific option.

    OnChange of Dropdown: 

    If(DropdownName.Selected.Value="specific option", Set(varShowPop,true)) 

     

    Then add a cancel button to close the box: 

    OnSelect of Cancel Button: Set(varShowPop,false)

     

    Hope this helps.

    Sik
