Hi,

I have an app with multiple forms that the user may need to fill in, each form is a different screen.

I have a pop up, but im not sure how i can get it to show when the user clicks the gallery link.

Any help will be great.

Thank you

Re: Pop Up - Show when screen loads

Hi @PowerNovice,

You can create a variable on the OnSelect property of the link: Set(varShowPopUp, true)
The popup group set the Visible property to: varShowPopUp
A button in the popup, set the OnSelect property to: Set(varShowPopUp, false)

Please tick Accept as solution if the answer is useful.
Thanks,
@AARON_C

Re: Pop Up - Show when screen loads

Is the "gallery link" a button, and what happens when you click it? Do you stay on the same screen, or do you Navigate to a different screen?

The easiest way to show something when a button (or similar control) is clicked, is to set its Visible property to a variable (e.g. showPopUp), and then in the OnSelect property of the button add:

UpdateContext({showPopUp: true}); // local variable - works only on the current screen

or

Set(showPopUp, true); // global variable - works across many screens

To start with it hidden, you would set the variable to false, either in the App.OnStart property (global variable only), or the screen's OnVisible property (local variable or global variable).

Hi @PowerNovice

One common method is to use a container control and set its visible property based on the selected item in the gallery.

UpdateContext({varShowPop:true})

Add a close button or icon inside the container and set its onselect property to

UpdateContext({varShowPop:false})
This will hide the container when the button is clicked.

If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know. Have a great day! 😊
