I have a gallery in a ticket app, that gallery shows the activity log, ie. who changed what and when did they do it.

For real estate and visual reasons, that gallery only shows three labels, who, what ("Changed Field: " & ThisItem.Activity) and when (MM/DD/YYYY)

But the act_entry record itself has more data including the before and after values for every change made.

I wish to create a little popup that does this, normally, I use a 'display variable' like varActlogVisible and then show or hide a container based on that variable. But when I've done this in the past, it's been for an input form to collect data and then hide it when I'm done.

Showing details from records in the gallery seems different to me but maybe not. I know that I can set the variable when any item in the gallery is clicked and use ThisItem to get the details to show in the controls in the container. But I've always had a clear cancel icon that replaces the create icon to show the form making the toggle really easy.

How do I reset the variable to hide the container when the user doesn't wish to see it? There isn't a OnSelect ANYWHERE BUT HERE property. Oh, maybe I can put that cancel icon right in the gallery that shows up. hmmm

I might have answered my own question but I'm still interested in understanding how others have solved this requirement.
