Tabbed form showing blank

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 237

HI,

 

I have an app with a tabbed form on the home screen. The tabbed form should show the information based on the record selected in the gallery. However, when I open the app, the form is blank until I click on one of the tabs. How do I fix this?

Gallery select button (right arrow):

 

Select(Parent);

 

 

Form items:

 

RecordsGallery1_1.Selected

 

 

After selecting the first tab:

    Hi @NPatel12498 ,

     

    Judging by your description, your app sets IsSelected to false for all items in the gallery when it starts. I'm not sure what causes this issue, because usually the gallery will set IsSelected to true for the first item by default.

     

    Here is a method for your reference:

    OnStart of App:

    Set(var,true)

    OnSelect of gallery:

    Set(var,false)

    Item of Form:

    If(var,First(RecordsGallery1_1.AllItems),RecordsGallery1_1.Selected)

     

     

    Best regards,

    Rimmon

    Hi I tried this and it still shows the form blank.

     

    I used a page template, so here are one of the context variables where I see ItemSelected set to false... should something be updated here?

    It's better not to modify it, I'm not sure if the rest of the template has some connection to this formula. Please try my method, it will also show the first record in the gallery when you open the app.

    Hi,

     

    I have tried your method, when I open the app, this is what still see. The form information on the right hand side is missing.

    I found the solution:

     

    Since I am using tabbed forms, I set the varTabSelected variable to 1 onstart of the app. This solved the issue.

     

    Thank you for the help!
