Hello all,

I have a canvas app but have a very annoying problem in view mode:
Please have a look at the image below. these are just two fields, both text fields, both are read-only . But one of them have a box and the other does not... really annoying especially because I have a lot of these fields and it looks very messy.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem? Thank you.

Check the border on them in the settings on the right side panel that appears when you select them. Set the border thickness to 0 or change from a solid line to blank.

This could be caused by border, view mode, or different controls such as textinput etc but you covered 2 of those so I would check borders.

@mmollet Sir thank you very much, but when I do that it works, so that's great, but the border also disappears in new mode. So when I add a new mode the fields do not have a border anymore. It's also strange because both fields have the same border settings.

Are these inside of a form or something?

@mmollet Yes and the fields that do show a border in view mode are all part of a cascading dropdown, so most of them are not selectable of fillable unless a value is chosen in the upper field. I don't know if that has something to do with it.

Based on the image you provided, it looks like the text box with the border is a "Label" control, while the other text box without the border is a "Text" control.
To remove the border around the Label control, follow these steps:
Select the Label control in the canvas app editor.
In the Properties pane, expand the Border section.
Set the BorderThickness property to 0.
This will remove the border around the Label control and make it look like the Text control.
Alternatively, you could change the Text control to a Label control, if you want all your fields to have the same appearance. To do this, select the Text control, right-click on it, and select "Change Control" > "Label". Then you can modify the label text to match the field name, and adjust the formatting as desired.

@SimnaJ @mmollet Thank you for your quick and extensive reaction.
Both fields are derived from a SharePoint Online list, both are text fields.
But if I look closely, actually all the fields with a border are disabled on default (they are only enabled when a certain value is selected in the upper field , like a cascading dropdown).

This is my formula for such a field in PowerApps DisplayMode:
If( IsBlank(Categorie.Selected); DisplayMode.Disabled; If( Categorie.Selected.Value = "Handboek"; DisplayMode.Edit; DisplayMode.Disabled ) )

If i set the borderthickness to 0, there is not a border in new mode as well, which is a bit strange.
This is what I see, all the fields are derived from SharePoint Online. Some of them are choice fields, some of them text fields. but the fields Project (depends on Business Unit) and Procestype/Proces (depends on Categorie)
