What is the main difference/s between a Data Table and a Gallery?. Can I use a data table to navigate to an edit form?. Also when is Data Table going to emerge from 'preview' as it was released in 2017.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you for the detailed answer. I will give it some time and wait for other replies. I'll also try it out and run a few tests. I'll share my findings here.
Hey @HamidBee
First I will talk about the similarity: Both are used to show data.
Talking about the main difference, I think that is other controls like icons, labels cannot be added to a data table, as far as I know. And in a gallery you can add them. Like you will add an arrow to a particular row to navigate to next screen to the edit form.
Now, talking about can you use a data table to navigate to next screen to the edit form, I dont think thats possible. Currently I just tested one thing, I added the edit form in the same screen. In the data source of the table I added the data source and in items property , DataTable1.Selected.
And it worked. But still I dont think you can use it to navigate to next screen.
But still wait for other people's responses, maybe I could be wrong.
Data Table provides a beautiful tabular form to show data, but any day I will prefer a gallery over a data table.
I hope this helps. 🙂
Hello @HamidBee
Data table is a control that presents a tabular presentation of your data.
Gallery control can duplicate the function of the table and it's highly customizable. I would advice you to use Gallery since you want to add more functions
