How to access Loading event in Power Apps ?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Is there any way to access the loading event for Gallery or Label which using data from any data source.

There's a way to show custom loader using variables, but when it comes to galleries and label texts that method cannot use.

 

How can I show a loading screen when data is loading in to gallery or Label ?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    You will not be able to access the Loading events in Canvas. You can enable the loading spinner in Gallery's or Screen's property, but for Labels there is no such property.

     

    According to below video (at about 13:45), I have a hint that you can also put a spinner beside the Label, set a variable to true before generating the Text content and set to false after, make the spinner show up before loading and hide after loading is complete:

    Hope this helps.
