Posted on by lisakristene

How can I add a different popup to each gallery item? I want to be able to select gallery list item row 1 and get pop up item “a” then select gallery item row 2 and get pop up item “b”. Currently I get the same pop up for each row.

@lisakristene What do you mean by a pop up? A screen-shot word make up for a 1000 words!

assumign the gallery is always changing you would need to do something like the contents of your popup are a switch and they do

Switch(ThisItem.Title, //Displays Message for First Item Last(FirstN(SourceName,1)).ID, "This is a Pop-Up for Item 1", Last(FirstN(SourceName,2)).ID, "This is a Pop-Up for Item 2", Last(FirstN(SourceName,3)).ID, "This is a Pop-Up for Item 3", Last(FirstN(SourceName,4)).ID, "This is a Pop-Up for Item 4")

and you just continue that on and on for however many different popups there are.

Thank you for responding. I can’t screenshot because it has government information, but basically I want if I have a gallery of events listed like meeting 1, 2, 3, etc., then when I click meeting event 1 it has a pop up window outside the gallery with all the event info and pictures. Then click meeting event 2 and I get a different pop up window with all that information for that event. So far I have created the popups, but I can only add it to the first event in my gallery and then it pops up for all other events. I hope that makes sense.

So basically you want a pop up /outside the gallery/ to contain all the info for the last item you clicked? What I would recommend its this.

Change your pop up to a gallery instead of whatever it currently is.

Add to your gallery items clickable button (along with whatever you have there that makes the pop up appear)

ClearCollect(itemFocus, ThisItem)

then point the popup gallery to itemFocus as the items property

@lisakristene yourGallery.Selected will give you the currently selected Item in the Gallery irerspective of how many items are there and which one you have selected. You can use that to display the required info in your pop up.

I apologize for being a novice, but I don’t quite understand what you are saying to do. Are you able to explain in further detail for someone with an elementary education in PowerApps? Thank you.

Each 'row' in your gallery is in fact an object with the fields that you set up in the data source you connected to that gallery.
Data Source: SP List called People
Fields: firstname, lastname, age, height, sex, etc...

The gallery shows each person as a row and that row, referenced by using 'ThisItem' inside that row/card, of the gallery will allow you to access that ojbects fields such as its name, age, height, etc. What you can do is utilize a collection or a variable to store that object so that it is accessable outside the gallery like this:

OnSelect Property of the item in the gallery set to one of the following...
Set(varPerson, ThisItem) -> varPerson.FirstName would return the name for that row/person.
or
ClearCollect(currPerson, ThisItem) -> First(currPerson).FirstName would return the same as above.

Once you have this you can build out a 'pop-up' screen as you mentioned that is outside the gallery and shows more info by using the objects fields that you just saved. Does this make any more sense?
