Loop over list with components and check there output values

In my app the user can do different tasks and if all tasks are done a text should be displayed.

For the tasks I have a component TaskBox with an output variable done, which is true if the task is done.

How can I check if all these tasks are done?

What I have thought so far is to store the instances in a list - loop over it and store if all are done in a variable, which I will put in the Visible method of the text I want to show then.

Set(eTasks, [TaskBox_1, TaskBox_2, TaskBox_3, TaskBox_4, TaskBox_5]);

How can I now loop over that list and check if all are done / one is not done. Or do you have an other idea to solve that, without doing it manually lik:

(because I will have many of them and they should be added easily)

Set(all_done, If(TaskBox_1.done = True and TaskBox_2.done = True ..., ture, false))

In python it would work like that:

all_done = True
for task in eTasks:
 if task.done == False:
 all_done = False

Hi @Anonymous ,

Manually can be shorter:

Set(all_done; TaskBox_1.done && Taskbox_2.done && ...)

Will think about better way later (no time 🙂 )

If you use a collection instead of an array you could loop through the collection with ForAll afterwards:

Create Collection:
ClearCollect(eTasks,{Task:TaskBox_1},{Task:TaskBox_2},...);

The loop would look like the following:
ClearCollect(myResult,{Result:1}); // Initialize first element of collection to 1.
ForAll(eTasks,If(!Task.done,Patch(myResult,First(myResult),{Result:0})) // First collection element changed to 0 if the task is not yet done.

Later you could see the final result by checking First(myResult).Result. If this is still 1 (as initialized) this would mean, that all the tasks are done. Please note that you have to use a collection and a Patch function because you cannot use 'Set' in a ForAll loop.
