Create Collection and append move values created by a timer

Hello

I have a timer who is running and changing the X-Value to slide a menu box.

Now I want to get the x values at the move and import them in a collection at the move time.

I tried to use a TextInput2-Property: onChange:

Collect(colVariableX,{FullName: TextInput1.Text});

but its not working. After run, collection without values is created.

The TextInput1 is showing under Default:

LabelGreenBlock.X

The workflow behind is:

(1) The TextInput shows the values at runtime so changed always the input of the default.

(2) I collect all the values in a collection.

(3) I show the values in a table

The idea is, to get all values of the changing X variable of the timer (movement by each step).

I hope I could explain it in an easy way 😉

Cheers

Michael

Hello
The follwoing details:
LabelGreenBox
PROPERTY: X

If(docDirection = "Out" && slideTimer,
50 - LabelGreenBlock.Width + (LabelGreenBlock.Width * Timer2.Value / Timer2.Duration),
If(docDirection = "In" && slideTimer,
50 - (LabelGreenBlock.Width * Timer2.Value / Timer2.Duration),
If(docDirection = "Out" && !slideTimer,
50,
50 - LabelGreenBlock.Width
)
)
)

TextInput1
PROPERTY: Default
LabelGreenBlock.X

If I push the button to start the move, I will get changing position-numbers about the X status in the TextInput1.
I like now to get all position-numbers in a collection to create based on that collection a Data-Table.
I tried to use the TextInput1 PROPERTY:onChange to fill a collection, but the trigger of onChange can't use the numbers, it works only if you click in that TextInput field.
If I used a button and trigger him with Select(Button) it only shows one number, because only onetime triggerd.
I will try now User Defined Functions to get that values by looping through that TextInput1.Default: LabelGreenBlock.X
Not sure if I could use a FOREACH in PowerApps maybe only possible of using function ForAll()???
Any ideas most appreciated 😉
Cheers
Michael

Hi @MD2024 ,

I found that OnChange of these controls won't be triggered by automatic actions. I'm afraid there is no way to achieve your goal...
