Posted on by Yancho

Hello everyone,

i am new to the Forum and working on a project just for me.

I am meeting a huge problem right now as iwant to send Deep Link with an item selected from a gallery as i open the Link the sended item from the gallery should be highlighted, if someone has done something similar like this i would be very happy to hear how they did it ^^.
(By the way my Deep Link is working and the only thing which i want to implement now is to set the sended item from the Gallery as selected when i open the Deep Link).

Hi @Yancho,

The Gallery has a 'Default' property for that purpose (I see that you get that information from the parameter already). Don't forget to reset your gallery. To make it obvious for the user which row is selected you can use IsSelected function to highlight the selected record (e.g. color, fill).

Hmm and to highlight it with "IsSelected" should i set a variable on "OnStart" or what do you think ? 🙂

Sure, you can set a variable OnStart such as:

Set(MySelectedRecord, Lookup(MyDataSource, ID = Value(Param("MyParamID")))

And set the Default of your gallery to MySelectedRecord. And finally highlight the selected record; for example the TemplateFill property can be something like:

If(ThisItem.IsSelected, Gray, Transparent)

Strange but somehow i still dont get it. The idea is to send the deep link with the project number for example and once i open this link it should prove if the project number exists in my gallery and if it exists it should go on it and highlight it. I am really confused right now and kinda stuck.

Hi @Yancho ,'

A bit unusual but assuming you have one record per project number, send it as the deep linked parameter and then the Default of your Gallery would be

LookUp( SPListName, ProjectNo = Param("ProjectNo") )

You will have to change the field name if that is not correct and also send ProjectNo as the parameter.

If the project exists, it should be selected in the gallery.
