Hi there,

 

does anyone knows how to surpress PowerApps to jump to the top when an Item is selected in a Gallery?

 

Thanks a lot. 

 

Klaus 🙂

    Re: Gallery item selected always jumps to the top

    Hi @BHS_KI ,

    This is the normal behaviour of a gallery - you would have to set the Default of the Gallery to the item you want to be at the top, so for instance (I assume you are using SharePoint) it would be a Lookup on the list forming the gallery with the ID of the last record selected (which you could update as the user selects a record). Initially it would be the first ID in the Items of the list.

    Gallery item selected always jumps to the top
    I realize this is an older post, but I didn't find a satisfactory answer when searching this morning, so if it helps anyone to know of a workaround, here's what I found...
     
    I noticed the same behavior, and I also noticed that tutorial videos from a couple years ago did not exhibit this behavior.  I'm new to Power Apps, but since I had the same problem, I played around to figure out a workaround.  If the Defaults property is set to {} this behavior goes away.  Anything else in the Defaults property seems to reintroduce the (rather annoying) behavior.  I am using the technique featured in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=691pRyRHWBU&t=1s  from Shane Young to set varRecord, and using this variable in the Template Fill property.  The appearance of a selected Gallery item can be simulated, if necessary, by setting varRecord to a particular record (if it is not already set to that record) and the FontWeight property on the individual text items in the gallery that normally appear in Semibold when selected as follows:
    If(ThisItem.ID=varRecord.ID, FontWeight.Semibold, FontWeight.Normal)

    Setting gallery default to {} does the trick. It seems just leaving it empty also works.
