DropDown List Text Box

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Aaqib1 20

Hi there,

 

I am trying to make text boxes visible or hidden based on the value selected in the Drop Down List.


At the moment, I have a Drop Down List which is 1,2,3 and 3 boxes which will appear based on what is selected.

 

If 1 is selected, I would like just for 1 box to appear, and then if 2 is selected, I would like for 2 boxes to appear and so on.

This is what I have set up against the Visible option but to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi @Aaqib1 ,

     

    Assuming I'm reading this correctly, and you're actually going to be using "1", "2", "3" in your dropdown, then you can do this for each text box according to it's relevant 'number'?

     

    TextBox1 Visible: Value(Dropdown1.Selected.Value)>=1

    TextBox2 Visible: Value(Dropdown1.Selected.Value)>=2

    TextBox3 Visible: Value(Dropdown1.Selected.Value)>=3

     

    Hope this helps,

    Hi @Aaqib1 

     

    Use a gallery and set Items property to:

    Sequence(Value(DropDown1.Selected.Value))

    and inside Gallery insert your text box (you don't need to set Visible property to this).

    To access your TextInput value for each row, you can use Gallery.AllItems property.

    Also if your dropdown use number as integer, you can set items to [1,2,3,4,5] and in this case formula will be:

    Sequence(DropDown1.Selected.Value)

     

    Hope it helps !
