Using column values as RGBA values

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by MC-30011736-0 29

Hi, I'm creating an app where a swim has different statuses and each status has it's own color based on RGBA. I'm storing the RGBA in a table called swimApptsStatuses. It has 4 columns (R, G, B, A) so I can change colors on the fly in the dataverse table. I'm changing the background fill of a record in a gallery to RGBA values. Is it possible to get these values from my table and use those instead of hard coding them in the app? 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

    since the columns R, G, B, A is in the Gallery datasource, you just need to change the TemplateFill to RGBA(ThisItem.R, ThisItem.G, ThisItem.B, ThisItem.A)

    Ha, I feel dumb. This worked, though I had to do ThisItem.statusID.R instead of just ThisItem.R since the galleries data source and is different from the gallery with the RGBA columns. statusID is the lookup column. Thanks for the help!
