Hello guys,

If I have a gallery with the items is an internal table like : Table ( {Tab:General}, {Tab:Summary}, {Tab:Detail})

And I want to make a button that can force select, lets say "Detail", is it possible ?

How would be like in that button "OnSelect" ?

Please advice,

Thanks

Hi @Abhilash_Swain

Of course. My mentioned gallery is used for " tab pages", something like this ->

And I have a need to have this "Tab page" selected by a button, to direct user for their process step. So by click this button, my apps will be jump to the designated page (which actually just a container visibility to yes)

Thanks,

@Axal is it something like this?
Do you want to display all the gallery items when the tab is getting clicked? Or you want to show the selected item data in other tabs. ( like if i select sample 1, attachment and Details screen will show he relevant data for request 1)

Hi @Abhilash_Swain

I'm sorry, it is due my bad explanation. The tab it self is the gallery (horizontal gallery) which is contain that internal table as of now. Like my attached picture, in that gallery I specified the Table in its Item property.

What I'm tryin to achieve is just to have a button which when I click on it, lets say the button called "Attachment" the the gallery (which is look like Tabs) is changed its selected item to the 2nd which is "Attachments".

Maybe in a simple example of normal gallery would be like this :
So at this normal gallery, somewhere in the screen I will have that button, in that button OnSelect I want the gallery to be "force" select the "Caseta Sky Grey" (by code). If for example user click the second button "Beauty Clay", the gallery will then have the 3 rd row selected, with the row name "Ageless Beauty Clay"

So this is the intention while the action after the gallery got selected, it is out of this thread.

Thanks.

OnSelect of Button1:

UpdateContext({varSelect:"Beauty Clay"})

OnSelect of Button2:

UpdateContext({varSelect:"Caseta Sky Grey"})

Then on Default property of the Gallery:

LookUp(TableName,ColumnName= varSelect)

Hi @eka24

Thanks, it works. But am wondering, why in that gallery actually I put the label name if it selected it will turn blue else will be black. I also have other sign which one is selected by an underline (rectangle object) which will be visible when it is selected. Both of this signage not working.

So it's like this :
Sorry about the inconsistent of the If condition, but I guess it served the logic, to identify which one is selected.

I put the UpdateContext to set the variable and did put the Lookup in the Default as your example. and it looks working, only this coloring and underline sign (to identify it is selected) not working.

Thanks

@Axal , to give a nice transition effect while selecting items, you can switch the transition property in the gallery to Push/Pop.

Use this:

Label

If(ThisItem.IsSelected,Blue,Red)

Then Visible of the rectangle:

!ThisItem.IsSelected

or

ThisItem.IsSelected

Hi @eka24 ,

I'm sorry, in your example, is it not the one that I did already ? or is it something different ?
Btw, if I select manually (directly) in that gallery (meaning select/click the tab), this coloring and rectangle is working properly. Only by using that button it's not working. But it did doing the action I expected when I click it, only those identification is not.

Thanks,

I tested the formula before sending. It works. I don't know why yours is not working.

Also I introduced ! In the formula,

Then Visible of the rectangle:

!ThisItem.IsSelected

Can you show the picture of the full Gallery
