How to pass a collection from a component to a screen?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by WebPortal 2,297

I'm trying to create a component with a gallery.

 

The Items property of the Gallery is given by a collection (Collect(myCol, .xxx)).

 

How to pass the collection from the component to the screen?

 

I've tried:

  • Custom Properties of the component, but it doesn't' support collections
  • OnReset property of the component, but I can't see the Gallery object in the screen (only the component).
  • Enabling the "Access app scope" in the component,  and it works well - while editing.

I'm out of ideas, help anyone?

    Hi @WebPortal ,

     

    Custom Properties of the component supports Table, Collections are a type of table as well.

     

    A similar scenario, using table as Items of Gallery in a component:

    Power Apps Navigation Menu Component (2 level menu) - YouTube

     

    Hope this helps.
