@Appy1 In the TemplateFill property of the Gallery place this code

If(ThisItem.checkbox.Value, Color.Green, Color.White)

Please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

Use a formula in the TemplateFill property of the gallery to change the color based on the checkbox. Something like this:

If(ThisItem.checkbox1.Value,Color.Yellow, RGBA(0, 0, 0, 0))

Hi @CNT

Thanks for your message, i have tried your suggestion and it doesn't seem to be working.

If(ThisItem.Checkbox1.Value=true, Color.Green, Color.White)

It seems to have an error when entered that states "Name isn't valid. - 'Checkbox1' isn't recognized".

There is also the error "Invalid use of "."

Any help much appreciated,

Many thanks
Chris

Hi @Pstork1

Sorry, it is the same for your suggestion, i am having an error when entering it.

'The function 'if' has some invalid arguments.'
'Name isn't valid. 'Checkbox1' isn't recognized.'

When using the formula provided the rows aren't highlighted unfortunately.

Many thanks
Chris

Checkbox1 needs to be the name of the column that the checkbox is displaying. Checkbox1 is just a placeholder in my example.

Hi @Pstork1

Apologies, i havent really used checkboxes before, are you saying that it would need to be related to a column in my data source? similar to how i have using ThisItem.example in the Items property of my text labels etc.

any help is really appreciated, i am still feeling fairly new to creating apps so any help you guys on this forum can give me is great.

Thanks
Chris

Yes, it needs to be related to an item in your data source. If you just add a checkbox to the gallery template and don't bind it to a column it will check and uncheck for every record each time you check it. The value has to reflect the value of a column in the record or its just a repeating checkbox. And yes it would work just like the ThisItem.somecolumn in your labels.

Hi @Pstork1 @CNT
Sorry to revive this topic.

I have attempted to do what you suggested, by ticking the checkbox i wish to highlight the row which works, but also change a text input assigned to the particular row on the gallery.

I have added to the Default Property of the Checkbox - ThisItem.'Check Box' which is a column i have added to my excel sheet data source.

Am i missing something else? As currently it changes the TextInput for all records.

Many thanks
Chris

Hi @Pstork1 ,

This is what i am using for this, kindly providing by @CNT on a separate topic thread.

In the OnVisible of the Screen,
Set(varText, Blank())
In the OnSelect of the button 'set to leaver',
If(Checkbox1.Value = true, Set(varText, "Leaver")); Notify("This Record will be removed overnight - status set to leaver",NotificationType.Information,5000)
In the Default property of the TextInput,
If(IsBlank((varText), Gallery1_1.Selected.Status, varText)

Many thanks for looking at this,
Chris
