Auto Adjust Height of Text in Inspection

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by LKMead 14

Hi

 

I'm using the Teams Inspection App as a template and using PowerApps to modify it

 

I'm currently struggling to get the checklist step information section to auto adjust to the height of content entered for this section(edited through Manage App). 

Theres 2 objects that contain height values(below), Im not sure what properties to adjust to get this to work

 

Screen: Checklist Steps Screen

- btnInstructions (Button)

-lblInstructionsForHeight(Label)

    Hi
    Do you want to make a label auto adjust to the height of its contents? 

    If yes, have you tried to enable the "Auto height" property of the label? Actually, the AutoHeight property was designed to estimate the content size and to adjust its height accordingly. So just try to enable this property.

    If I misunderstand your requirement, please provide more information(better with screenshots) for helping me understand your needs better. 

    Best regards,

    Allen

    Hi 

     

    I already tried by having the Auto Height selected for the label and doesnt work. 

    LKMead_0-1626158963524.png

    Above is the screen objects, from what I can see is that the label is meant to control the height of the text pulled from the table on the button

     

    Height Property for btnInstructions 

    /control the height of the button based on the height of lblInstructionsForHeight
    If(
    gblExpandVar && !LookUp(
    colStepDetails,
    Value = ThisItem.'Checklist Step'.'Area Inspection Checklist Step'
    ).ExpandInstruction,
    lblInstructionsForHeight. Height+ 10,
    80
    )

     

    Text Properties

    //"Helpful text with learn more links and expandable to two lines before expand icon appears"
    If(
    lblInstructionsForHeight.Height > 80,
    ThisItem.Instructions,
    ThisItem.Instructions
    )

     

    lblInstructionsForHeight

     

    Autoheight: True

    Height: False

     

    I have also trued the other way around for height properties
