I would like to have a popup showup like shown when I select the filter icon in the top right. Does someone know how to accomplish this? My popup is a container.

    1. Create a container control and place it on your screen where you want the popup to appear.

    2. Set the Visible property of the container control to false.

    3. Add the controls that you want to display in the popup inside the container control.

    4. Add a button or icon to your screen that will be used to open the popup.

    5. Set the OnSelect property of the button or icon to the following formula:

      Set(popupVisible, true)

      This formula will set a variable called "popupVisible" to true when the button or icon is selected.

    6. Set the Visible property of the container control to the "popupVisible" variable:

      Visible: popupVisible

      This will make the container control visible when the "popupVisible" variable is set to true.

    7. Add a close button to the container control to allow the user to close the popup.

    8. Set the OnSelect property of the close button to the following formula:

      Set(popupVisible, false)

      This formula will set the "popupVisible" variable back to false, hiding the container control.

    By following these steps, you should be able to create a popup similar to the filter popup in PowerApps.

    Hi @EMA03356!

     

    Container is the way that I use to make a popup. You can control the Visible property of conteiner.
    This can help you:

    1. Set an UpdateContext in the icon's OnSelect. For example UpdateContext({ShowFilters: True}).

    2. Change the visibility of the container to "ShowFilters".

    3. Add a close icon in the conteiner and set OnSelect property to update context to false. Like UpdateContext({ShowFilters: False})

     

    It works like a popup.
