Icon visible/Not visible when text of a dropdown does not appear in a Gallery

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I am simply trying to add the warning icon to appear when : The text selected in the Staff Dropdown (Dropdown 12) is equal to any of the staff names that appear in the gallery on the left. So in the case below, they have selected Ceo so that is fine, but if they selected either 'Cathy' or 'Anna' i would want the icon to be visible. I thought i would look at the gallery.Allitems.Staff but this doesnt work.

I can get this to work if i do Visible property of Icon = If(Dropdown12.SelectedText.Value = Subtitle2_13.Text && Form1_1.Mode <>FormMode.View, true, false) but when i do it this way it will only pick up what is in the Subtitle2_13 - so if i pick Anna from the staff drop down it the icon appears (which is what i want) and then i pick someone else who is not in the gallery it disappears (again is what i want) BUT when i pick Cathy (appears in the gallery) the icon does not show (NOT what i want)

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Michael

Hi @Anonymous

if I got it right than you just need to write something like this:
If(Dropdown12.SelectedText.Value = FilterTestGallery_2.Selected.Staff && Form1_1.Mode <> FormMode.View, true, false)
because you just want to compare it with the selected item in the gallery, right?

Hi, thanks for replying.

I want to compare it to ALL the names in the gallery - so in the screenshot you can see 2 names - Cathy and Anna - On another date there could be 1 there could be 12 names in that gallery - i want it to look at all the names in the gallery and show me the Icon if they pick any of those 12 names in the Staff dropdown - so not just looking at the selected item.

Thanks

Ah, got it.

This should work:
If(Dropdown12.SelectedText.Value in FilterTestGallery_2.AllItems.Staff && Form1_1.Mode <> FormMode.View, true, false)
