Hi,

I have the following Collection called 'Tabs' in the 'OnVisible' property of a Canvas Screen;

I have a Gallery within the Screen where its 'items' property is set to 'Tabs'

The Gallery options are listed correctly and I can click on each one.

The problem I'm having is getting the DataCard, text label etc to show when I play the app. Below I can see the DataCard and label in Edit mode, but when it runs they are not there. I'll be hoping to set each DataCards visibility to a particular option on the left navigation (Gallery) and I've tried this but no joy. Does anyone know how to make certain DataCards witin a Form appear only when a certain option from a Gallery is selected? Thanks

Hi!

There's two things going on here I know of which can affect the visibility:
1. You want the visibility of the data cards selected to be something like:

Gallery5.Selected.Tab = *TabValue*

2. For a form to display it's datacards, it must either be in New mode, or in Edit mode with a specified Item. This is changed via a forms Default Mode, or by using these functions

Once both of these are accomplished it should function as desired.

*EDIT: It's also worth noting that you must have a datasource connected to the form, or nothing will appear

Hope this helps!
