Gallery selection to text input box

Posted on by mauvis99

Hi There,

I currently have a white text input box that when you input a users name, it searches office 365 users and display the results (green gallery). The issue I have is I don't know how to 'on select' or when I click or tap 'James Warren' for it clear out the white text input box and put in James Warren as a selection. I have tried collection and setting variables but I just can't figure it out, this is my first ever power app. Any help would be appreciated!

- Give this in the Items property of the gallery

If(!IsBlank(TextInput1.Text), Filter(tblSkyscrapers, TextInput1.Text in 'Building Name'),tblSkyscrapers)

- In the OnSelect of the Gallery set a variable called varSelectedText to the gallery's selected item only if it is selected

If(ThisItem.IsSelected,Set(varSelectedText,ThisItem.'Building Name'),Set(varSelectedText,TextInput1.Text))

- In the Textbox's Default property pass that variable.

- After clicking, it works as below

Does not show other records of the gallery. They will show only after the user clears the text box. This is because as per your requirements the gallery items are dependent on the value of the text box and the value of the textbox is dependent on the gallery items.

You can add a button to Reset.

This might become a bit cumbersome to have a circular reference like thing to have dependency of two controls on one another, but if it is fine with you then great :).

Hi there, thanks for the response, it gave me some clues as to what to do.

So I set the Data > Default property of the Text Box to: selectedText
Then for the Gallery 'On Select' property I wrote the following, it now works!! cheeehooo!!
If(ThisItem.IsSelected, Set(selectedText, ThisItem.DisplayName) , Reset(TextBox))

Also, it only worked when the Advanced > Display Mode property for the Gallery was set to: DisplayMode.Edit it didn't work when it was set to DisplayMode.View
