Go to Top part of screen

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hello,

when I navigate to a screen (say SCR1) for the first time, PowerApps shows the screen at its top position. If I scrolll down, go to another screen, and then come back to SCR1, it shows the screen at the last position used (so down part in that case).

Whereas I would like it to always display the screen at the top.

Is there any way to achieve this ?

Sorry I don’t uderstand your question. Screen is screen and it can’t go up or down. You might have a gallery or scrolable canvas on the screen which you want to be at top position when navigating back. So which one is it?

Not an official way as far as I know. I’m sure there is an unoffical way of doing it but I haven’t tried that with canvas yet. Please post a screenshot of that canvas and I’lltake a look at it tommorow

Ok, here is a screenshot :

As you can see on the left, there is one canvas in my screen, with one data card that contains all the elements. Below is the down part of the screen.

Guillaume,

I have seen several post related to the scroll bar not resetting to the top upon arrival to a screen. To the best of my recollection, there is currently not a solution for this. There needs to be a property associated with the scroll bar that allows the scroll bar to be reset to top if true. It becomes confusing to users to navigate to a screen and then try to figure out where they are because the scroll bar is scrolled to the bottom, etc.

So workaround to this is to add in your screen where the canvas is in OnVisible property

UpdateContext({resetCan:false})

and in OnHiden property

UpdateContext({resetCan:true})

Then in your DataCard Visible property set

resetCan=false

That will reset the datacard and move the canvas at the top when you navigate to the screen

Hi Sienna, Do you know if there is a workaround that will work with a Gallery?

Thanks @Sienna, it worked ! Though it adds a little delay when displaying the screen, but it works 🙂

To be precise, I modified the OnHidden & OnVisible properties of the screen, not of the canvas (these properties exist only for screens anyway)

Yes. It is almost the same workaround. All you have to do is reset the items in the gallery. Do exactly the same thing with OnVisible and OnHiden property of the screen and and in your gallery Items property add

If(resetCan=false, [your original items here])
