Map.Select Function problem

Posted on by Rolson1

I have a label that's text is

Map1.Selected.Location and it works in edit mode but when I first open the app I get this error: 

Issue 

Name isn't valid. 'Selected' isn't recognized. 

This error appears most commonly when a formula refers to something that no longer exists (for example, a control that you've deleted), 

Once I navigate to the map screen in edit mode the error goes away on it's own and it works how i want it to.  The problem is end users can't use it because they can navigate in edit mode to clear the error.  Any ideas for a fix?

HI

You need to put an Error Handler around the code, this way, it won't show an error, and should allow them to go there

If(!IsBlankOrError(Map1.Selected.Location), Map1.Selected.Location);

This way it will check first if its Blank or an error (which you are getting and should)

If its NOT an error you get the location

If its an error, it does nothing and leaves the label blank.

Thanks for the suggestion, didn't work. It still says .selected isn't valid. All i have to do is navigate to the map screen in edit mode and it clears it up, I don't have to actually select anything. I've tried putting a variable in the label text and setting the variable with the maps onselect but it gives the same problems.

My app has had the Map control included in it for over a year and now recently I am running into the same issue where .Selected returns an error message.

Name isn't valid. 'Selected' isn't recognized.

It has caused part of my app from display data from the map.
