Button Onselect to send variable values to DataCardValue

Posted on by rob4681

Hello all,

I have a button labelled 'Paste'. OnSelect I want this button to paste a value into DataCardValue29 on the same screen. The variable (TOO) has been set previously. The code I am trying is below and compiles but doesn't paste.

DataCardValue29.Text = TOO;

I tried using UpDateContext but without success.

Thank you in advance.

Rob

Hi @rob4681 you can use Set Function to set a variable like so:

Set(VarPasteText,TOO)

Then have the DataCardValue29 text property to:

VarPasteText

Am I right in thinking this will update the DataCardValue29 every time? I have already set the TOO variable on a different canvas. I want the option,
If the paste button is pressed: pass the text of the TOO variable to DataCardValue29
If the paste button is not pressed: Manual text entry to DataCardValue29 is possible or can be left blank.

Thanks again.

@rob4681 If you put the set on select of the button this will only paste this when the button is selected not evetime you change the TOO variable you could add in a if statement to check that the paste text is blank:

DataCardValue29 text property to:

If(IsBlank(VarPasteText),"",VarPasteText)
