I can't find SearchText property of Combobox in Power Apps of Teams

Posted on by Emy

I am creating an Apps in Teams.

But I'm having trouble with Combobox.

I added the following formula to the Items property of Combobox1 in order to choose Office365Users but it did not work.

（I have already connected Office365Uses Connector.）

Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm : ComboBox1.SearchText})

It seems that SearchText property cannot be used in ComboBox in Teams.

( I tried with Power Apps (not in Teams) and it worked.)

Does anyone know why?

PS. I use Japanese version.

Thanks,

Hi @Emy :

First,let me explain why you encountered this problem.

The point is that the combo box in Teams is not the same one in Power Apps(not in Teams).

Secondly,If you want to use the combo box with SearchText property, you need to turn on the classic control function.

Best Regards,

Hi, @v-bofeng-msft

Thank you for your reply.
I set it up exactly as you told me, and I was able to accomplish what have expected.
I could have never noticed it by myself.
Thank you very much for your kind instruction.

Best regards,
Emy

As "Classic Control" is under "Experimental" tab of the setting, is it an official approach which will be supported by Microsoft in the future? Thanks!

Hi,
Could somebody please confirm if this solution should still work?

Note: I'm working in Power Apps for Teams

I can't find the 'turn Classic Controls on' option, in teams it seems to be different and is shown as Try out the modern controls.
With this turned on, I have tried both versions of the combobox, but can't find anything useful for the searchterm: parameter. . . it works if I enter static text "joe", but can't use Self.text, combobox1.text or anything similar.

I am simply trying to add an Office365users people picker in a combo box.

Many thanks
