Clear Text input which has Default earlier

Posted on by Axal 945

Hello,

 

I have a condition whereby my Text Input (lets say the name is TextInput1) having Default : Gallery1.Selected.'Worker name', then in some event, I need to clear that text. So I created a button right beside that Textinput1 to clear that text inside.

 

Usually I'm using Reset(TextInput1) , but I realize reset is just to give the default value back.

 

How to clear the text ?

 

Thanks

    Hi Axal,

     

    If i understand correctly, try this approach -

     

    1. Create a boolean variable on screen visible. Set(Clear, false)

    2. Set Default property of textbox TextInput1 to If(Clear, "", Gallery1.Selected.'Worker name')

    3. Now event when you want to clear the text use this code UpdateContext({Clear: true})

    4. You also need to update the Clear variable to false on gallery select event, so that you can have the new value.

     

    Hope this helps.
