Gallery and form on same screen - view vs edit mode

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by AnnetteM

I have a gallery and a form on the same screen. I also have a button for the user to add a new item. When they click to add a new item, I would like the form to be in edit mode, obviously. Same is true if they select an item from the gallery where the status of the item is not paid -- this will allow them to change the item up until the point it gets paid. Once the item is in a paid status, if they click on the item from the gallery, I would like the form to only display in view mode. Is that possible?

@AnnetteM Absolutely.

So on your Form DisplayMode Property use this formular:
If(varIsEditMode,DisplayMode.Edit,DisplayMode.View)

On your button.OnSelect Property add this formular:
Set(varIsEditMode,true)

On Your Gallery.OnSelect Property use something like this:
If(ThisItem.IsPaid,Set(varIsEditMode,true),Set(varIsEditMode,false))

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

Hi,
Yes It is possible. On select property of new button you can add below formula -
Set(varFormMode, “new”)
on select property of gallery or edit icon you can use -
Set(varFormMode, “edit”)
You can use below formula on Default mode of form
If(varFormMode=“new”, FormMode.New, If(varFormMode=“edit”, If(Gallery1. Selected.Status. Value <> “ Paid”, FormMode.Edit, FormMode.View)))
assumptions -
gallery name is Gallery1
Status column is of type choice and name is Status

@AnnetteM
True what @NandiniBhagya20 wrote. It is FormMode not DisplayMode...

In your Gallery OnSelect, set the following formula:

Set(glbCurrentRecord, ThisItem); Reset(yourFormNameHere)

On your Add button/Icon, set the following formula:

Set(glbCurrentRecord, Defaults(yourDataSourceNameHere)); Reset(yourFormNameHere)

In the DefaultMode property of your form, set the following:

If(glbCurrentRecord.PaidStatus = "Paid", FormMode.View, FormMode.Edit)

Substitute names accordingly above.

I hope this is helpful for you.
