Hi there!

 

I am looking for a solution such as this:

where there are "titles" that are not clickable.

 

or a solution like this:

Cweiss_0-1602717682190.png

 

The choices in the dropdown menu will always be the same - it can be hardcoded in.

 

solutions such as where you choose car make in one box then model is filtered in another box is not what I am hoping for. This is because it is best if all options are somewhat visible to the user before making a selection. Previous solutions such as this does not work for me:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCkBraZZgZI  this is because it is not contained in one dropdown menu.

 

Thank you so much for your help!!

    Well I sort of figured out a solution...

     

    I added bullet points in front of the "heading" choices, (these are headings that describe the choices below them)

    and when someone tries to choose a title, they get this error:

    Cweiss_1-1603299540487.png

    I used the column validation feature by setting it up like so:

    =NOT(

    OR(

    [my column] = "• 1. Choice 1", 

    [my column] = "• 2. Choice 2",

    [my column] = "• 3. Choice 3"

    )

    )

     

    I hope there is an improvement in the future to this, but it shall suffice!

    Hi @Cweiss ,

     

    Is this a 2 levels Menu ? 

    If so, you can achive this using Gallery in Gallery (blank flexible height type). 

    In OnStart property of the app set a Collection that keep your menu, something like this: 

    ClearCollect(
    MyMenu,
    {
    FirstLevel: "At Home & At Work",
    SecondLevel: "Microsoft at home"
    },
    {
    FirstLevel: "At Home & At Work",
    SecondLevel: "Microsoft at work"
    },
    {
    FirstLevel: "At Home & At Work",
    SecondLevel: "Microsoft anywere"
    },
    {
    FirstLevel: "For IT Pro",
    SecondLevel: "TechNet"
    },
    {
    FirstLevel: "For IT Pro",
    SecondLevel: "TechCenter"
    }
    )

    Insert a Gallery (will call it - Parent)  and inside it another Gallery (will call it - Child).

    Set the parent gallery Items property to:  GroupBy(MyMenu,"FirstLevel","Result") and also insert a Label with Text property to ThisItem.FirstLevel

    Set the child gallery Items property to ThisItem.Result  and also insert a Label with Text property to ThisItem.SecondLevel.

    Entertaining right 🤣...

    This was the easy part ... now we have to set the height of the ChildGallery to:

    CountRows(ThisItem.Result)*ChildGallery.TemplateHeight 

    and the TemplateSize of the ParentGallery to:

    Label.Height+ChildGallery.Height

    Don't forget to set TemplatePadding to both Galleries to 0.

    The result should look like:

    1.PNG

    The action is ready to be seted in ChildGallery.OnSelect.

    Enjoy it !

    And hope it helps !
