Load gallery onStart

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi, 

 

Before I had an application that onStart loaded the gallery items and populated an edit form with the default data from the gallery. 

 

For the life of me, I have touched something and now the edit form will only load when I click into the screen no load in the background when the user starts the application. 

 

I could have sworn I had something in the OnStart but since have to delete stuff and can't seem to fix it. 

 

Any help will be great.

    only load when I click into the screen no load in the background when the user starts the application. 

     

    What is the formula on the button you click before it starts. Can you consider putting the formula OnStart if it a collection?

    Also, one more suggestion here: why not restore a previous version that you know had this working, look at its OnStart, copy the code, then restore your current version, and update the code.
