Hi,

 

I'm building a very simple app to look up login details for our younger students. I'm using a gallery to pull data from a spreadsheet and on the detail page I want to have a button which when pressed will display the student's password and then hide again when you let go.

 

I've tried creating an icon and attached the 'OnSelect' as DataCardValue6.visible = true - if I put the icon within the Card field, it doesn't do anything at all. If I place it outside the field then it also doesn't do anything. 

 

What would be the best way to achieve this?

 

Thank you in advance.

Richard

    Add a button to the screen for now we will call is Button1

    Then go to the visible of DataCardValue6 and change it to Button1.Pressed

    that is one way to do this feature. if you want to use an icon instead of a button you will need to do a trick and create a transparent button and put it on top of the icon as Icon's do not have a pressed value.

     

    if you do not want  a button you could try use a toggle to do the same thing.

    @richardbjames Use a TextInput to control to display the Password and,

    1. Set its Mode to View

    2. In the OnSelect do this, If(varPasswordMode=TextMode.SingleLine, Set(varPasswordMode, TextMode.Password), Set(varPasswordMode, TextMode.SingleLine))

    3. In the Text property put this, If(varPasswordMode=TextMode.SingleLine, "Hide Password", "Show Password")

    4. In the OnVisible of the Screen, put this, Set(varPasswordMode, TextMode.Password)

    The result will be like this,
