Adding a 'wait second' to a function

Posted on by NickK

Hello,

I have a text input box that is used to populate my gallery page. The textinput is set to blank and when user types, it will start populating results that match below.

The problem:

I've found that as the user types it populates results and the app gets a little hung up as you type becuase it keeps trying to pull different records as you add each letter.

The question:

Is it possible to add something in the function (or formula), to tell it to wait a second before it populates the gallery. In other words, it gives the user a second to finish typing the search before it populates the gallery page.

Here is my current code that is pulling records.

SortByColumns(Search(Table1,TextInput1.Text,"ADDRESS","CITY","Mall Name","Location / Dealer Name (Primary)"),"Location / Dealer Name (Primary)")

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Nick

You can use the 'DelayOutput' property of the text input control - that will give you exactly (*) what you want, a delay between the time the user is typing in the text input and the moment its Text property is updated. If that property is set to true, the output property is only updated after the user stops typing (for half a second).

(*) Not exactly, as the delay that is added is of 500ms instead of a second, but it should help your scenario.
