I have used a datatable to show some rows of data. Due to the limitations of the datatable (no editing data), I've added textboxes at the right side of the table for the user to add additional info for each row.
However the number of rows shown are variable from 1 to 10 depending on user choices.
I have made 10 textboxes next to the table and named them txtAdditionalInfo1, ..2, ..3 etc.
I would like to hide the boxes wich are excessive, but cannot find a way to reference them dynamically.
I'm used to vb.net and to do something like "Controls(varControlname).visible"... but is that possible in Power Apps?
Since this case is limited to 10 controls, I could do something using IF but I was hoping there was a better waY?
Hi @jmkvalsund ,
A simple answer unfortunately - you cannot reference field names (or many other things such as list and control names) dynamically. You would have to hard-code it, but Switch() may be little less code intensive than If()
