Hello - I am building a Power App containing a gallery that the user will select an item from after searching for it. This is a picture of the app so far:

Gallery Properties:

Items: Filter(AllOpenRoles,StartsWith(JobReqID,Textboxsearchinput.Text))

OnSelect: UpdateContext({varSelectedItem:ThisItem})

Visible: If(IsBlank(Textboxsearchinput.Text),false,true)

Once the user selects a gallery item from the list, I want the gallery to disappear (as you can see, the list still remains even when the text input is populated. I'm newer to Power Apps and am stuck on how to make this happen. Any suggestions for a property/formula that I could use?

Thank you!

You need to reset the TextInput control after you select an item from the Gallery.

Just set the OnSelect of your Gallery:

UpdateContext({varSelectedItem:ThisItem});Reset(Textboxsearchinput)

@Qi ah, OK...sorry, I'm a newbie and a lot of what I'm building has come from YouTube videos...I'm still learning a lot of the logic! So, to confirm, what I'm reading is that I need to leave the Visible property of the gallery blank and instead insert Reset(Textboxsearchinput) into the OnSelect property. Is that correct?

Hi @jessicadduffey,

I think there is a contradiction in the logic of your expression...

You said that you want the gallery to disappear once the user selects a gallery item from the list, however, you set a variable to make the gallery appear once the search text is not blank, which is contradictory.

You logic will make the Gallery appear always once the search text is not blank.

So if you want to make the Gallery disappear, you need to clear the searchtext after you select an item from Gallery, which is what @AARON_C mentioned previously.

@AARON_C basically, I want the user view to look like this:
The number selected has populated in the text input, but the list is gone.

Hi @jessicadduffey,

Once the gallery disappears, what are you trying to do?

You can add this to the OnSelect property of the gallery:

Reset(Textboxsearchinput);

Please tick Accept as solution if the answer is useful.

Thanks,

@AARON_C
