I have a gallery within my powerapp (GalleryApp) and I have a button in there which when pressed displays a drop down box. The problem I have is that when the Button is pressed every instance of the drop box appears all the way down the gallery. Is there a way that I can set the visible property on the drop box so that only the individual dropbox appears when the button is pressed?
Set a variable like on the click event like this
Set this code on the component you want to make visible false and true.
Im using a different language. So my ";" are "," probably in your version 🙂
I have tried this but it is still the same. It either shows every drop box in the gallery or hides every dropbox. I only want it to show or hide the indvidual instance
Hi @Station1901
Set the OnSelect property of your button to:
Select(Parent);UpdateContext({varBtnPressed:!varBtnPressed})
And the visible property of your dropdown to:
varBtnPressed && ThisItem.IsSelected
This should achieve what you're looking for 🙂
Thanks for getting back to me. This almost works, it does show & hide the dropdown box but if I click on a button further down the gallery it also shows & hides the other instances
Try setting the OnSelect property of the button to the following:
UpdateContext({varBtnPressed: false}); Select(Parent); UpdateContext({varBtnPressed:!varBtnPressed})
Have had a test my end with this and seems to be working, "moving" the dropdown to whichever gallery item is selected.
Thankyou, this works exactly how I wanted it to.
