Posted on by kwasi2762

I have a screen with 3 buttons(previous, draft and next). There is a checkbox on the screen that displays a multiline text input when it is checked. The multiline text input must stay hiding until the checkbox is checked. This purpose is fulfilled up to this point. However, after the checkbox is checked and the text input is made, the text input stay visible when I navigate between screens. In addition, the checkbox stays checked even after saving to draft and wanting to make a new submission. If the checkbox is manually selected, it is unchecked and the text input go hiding. I want the unchecking to be done automatically when the user clicks out of the text input. Any idea.

Hi @kwasi2762

Are you patching the text input? If you are you can reset the checkbox after you patch.

Another option is to reset the checkbox using the Onvisible property of the screen.

HI @kwasi2762,

What do you mean by "when the user clicks out of the text input"?

If you want to reset the checkbox after you finish inputing from the text input, please consider the following steps:

1). Set the OnChange property of the textinput control as below:

Set(varReset,true)

2). Set the Default property of the Checkbox as below:

!varReset

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately, that solution did not work. I don't know if it is because the text input is in a gallery

Hi @kwasi2762

I think I may have part of a solution for you. If you still need more, I am happy to help, just when you reply comment my name so I don't miss it.

What I have done:
Checkbox inside of Gallery:
OnCheck property

Set(toggleckbx, false); ClearCollect(isChecked, ThisItem.Title) // ThisItem.Title is just an example text field I am displaying in the gallery

OnUncheck property

Clear(isChecked)

Reset property

toggleckbx

Text Input control inside of Gallery:
Visible property

ThisItem.Title in isChecked

Rectangle inside of Gallery + Rectangle outside of Gallery:
Onselect property

Clear(isChecked); Set(toggleckbx, true)

Fill property -Transparent
For the Rectangle inside of the gallery, ensure it is behind the checkbox and text input control.
For the Rectangle outside of the gallery, ensure it is behind the gallery and width and height is the same as the screen size.
