PowerApps Button Color Change on Form Load

Posted on by scnative

I've seen posts similar, but we have 1 screen with 3 forms on the one screen. Patch wasn't working, so this ensures all data is posted.

Form Name / Button Name:

Main / Main

AddInfo / Additional Information

Status / Status

When a form is loaded, I want the button that corresponds to the title to display a different color. For example, if user clicks button "Main" - I want the Main button to change color, and keep that color, until another button is clicked. This will help users know which form they are viewing/editing.

The buttons are currently configured with

OnSelect: Set(ShowMainForm,true);Set(ShowAddInfoForm,false);Set(ShowStatusForm,false)

TIA

You change the fill and/or color property of the button if the corresponding form is showing.
If(ShowMainForm, Green, Red) If(ShowAddInfoForm, Green, Red); If(ShowStatusForm, Green, Red);
Put the formula on corresponding button's fill and/or color property. You can change colors however you like.

Hi @Anonymous ,

If I add to button Color or Fill, I get errors expecting operator + & * at the semi-colons and commas

Sorry for the miscommunication. You should not add all three formulas to one button. One formula corresponds to one button.
Main Button Fill/Color: If(ShowMainForm, Green, Red) Additonal Button Fill/Color: If(ShowAddInfoForm, Green, Red); Status Button Fill/Color: If(ShowStatusForm, Green, Red);

@Anonymous - Thank you. That works. How do I reference specific colors, like:
