Posted on by MIA27

On a screen I type criteria to filter the gallery on which my another gallery are also based.

All working fine.

But issue is that for example, I searched as shown below in the image, moved to another screen, when I come back, I find the search field criteria still exist. Once I leave the screen , I want it to be reset for blank.

Is it possible to reset the search criteria field before moving the another screen, so when user comes back, he will have filter, then he will type as per his requirement

pls. guide

in the OnSelect of for example a button in a Gallery Item you'd set:

Reset(Searchbar_1)

This can be added to any OnSelect that would make you shift to another screen like:

Reset(Searchbar_1); Navigate('Screen_2', ScreenTransition.UnCover)

Thank you noted your message, will be testing it,

In my situation, I have around 6 Textbox for filter criteria of the gallery. Which I click a button to clear all the textbox, below is the images for better preview.

Is it possible while navigating to another screen by clicking on a + Button, the clearAll button can get clicked by code.
As both the job can be done at one click (it will clear all fields as well as open other screen, Clearbutton has the code to reset all the 8 fields as shown in the image)
.

Hi @MIA27 , I usually set a variable example: Set(varReset,true) - usually on the onVisible , but can be used on select of any control as well.
Then I add varReset in the "reset" property of the TextInput. This can be used in the "Reset" property of multiple controls which you want to reset.
It saves time and reduces the code as well

Yes. Lets say there are 2 buttons, button1 and button2 , if you want to run the code of button2's onselect on click of button1
you have to simply write Select(button2) in the onSelect property of button1

You mean to be typed as below under the navigate button's on select property :
Select(ClearAllButton); Navigate('Screen_2', ScreenTransition.UnCover)

Note : On select of navigate button, I am trying to run the code of ClearAllButton.
So all my fields will clear as well as it will move to another screen
suggest if I am going ok
