Reset toggle control in component

Posted on 14 Aug 2023 19:32:11 by kzoltan

Hello,

For the sake of simplicity, my PowerApps component contains a text input control and a toggle control. Two instances of the component are inserted in a screen.

What I would like help with is how to set both toggle controls to false with one button. Otherwise, "false" is the default parameter of the toggle in the component setup, so somehow a reset would be the goal.

Thanks,

Zoltan

Thanks @graeme_findlay and @hasnainhaider68
This was the key:
"UpdateContext({ResetToggle: true})
UpdateContext({ResetToggle: false})"

It does not work with a single line.

Re: Reset toggle control in component

Dear,
you should try this
Create a Reset Button: Add a button control to your PowerApps screen. This button will be used to trigger the reset action for both toggle controls.
Set the Reset Button's OnSelect Property: Select the reset button, and in the formula bar or the "OnSelect" property of the button, add the following formula:

UpdateContext({ResetToggle: true})
UpdateContext({ResetToggle: false})
This code snippet first sets the "ResetToggle" context variable to true, and then immediately sets it back to false. This will trigger a recalculation of the "ResetToggle" variable and cause the toggle controls to reset.
Update the Toggle Controls' Default Properties: For each of the toggle controls in your component, you will need to update the "Default" property to take into account the "ResetToggle" variable. Assuming your toggle control's default property is currently set to false, you can modify it as follows:
If(ResetToggle, false, YourOriginalDefaultValue)

Thanks for the replies.
The toggle is part of the component, not a standalone control. I assume that something needs to be set in the custom properties.

Hi,
Alt, you can create 2 variables on the button like such (onselect):

Set(var1, false);
Set(var2, false);

and then set the default property on toggle 1 to "var1" and toogle 2 to "var2".

@kzoltan

You can use the reset function for OnSelect of your button

Reset(Toggle1);Reset(Toggle2)
