Hi,

Any help to change the display mode of a gallery with a button. I have Gallery4 (which is currently in display mode: view) and have added a pen outside the gallery with the following code but It has not worked:

If(Gallery4.DisplayMode=View,UpdateContext({dmv: DisplayMode.Edit}),UpdateContext({dmv: DisplayMode.View}))

Thank you

Hi @bolandre92 ,
Galleries by default are DisplayMode.Edit, but you cannot really edit anything (and expect it to be saved) in a standard gallery. There is a process that can allow editable controls to be put in a gallery and using Patch update the source data list. You can also set the DisplayMode of individual controls in the gallery.
What are you trying to achieve (and what are you expecting to see different) with the DIsplayMode change.

See image attached.

The data in the center of the screen is in View mode. I want to turn it into Edit mode with the pen button so that users can update it in case of being required and there after run a Patch with the disk button next to the pen.

Let me know if you need more information and thank you for your kind help

Hi @bolandre92 ,
As I said, you cannot edit gallery items by simply changing the Mode (which is Edit by Default anyway to allow an item to be selected and displayed in a form).
The objects in a gallery by default are labels. You can, as I mentioned, set up a gallery to accept controls that will allow their values to be Patched back to a list. This video from Shane Young @Shanescows explains it fairly well, but simply changing the mode will not do the job you are expecting.

Hi @bolandre92 ,

I made a test on my side based on your code, but don't have any issue you mentioned.

Please ensure the DisplayMode property of all Text Input boxes in Gallery is Parent.DisplayMode and Set Gallery.DisplayMode to dmv.

Hope this helps.
