Solved: Change Color for icons

Bennjamin · ‎03-24-2022

Hi Community,

i have a problem with the icon color.

I have 3 icons in my gallery. The first Icon ist red. If checkbox 1 = true the 2nd icon turns to orange and the first one turns to black. If checkbox 2 = true the 3rd icon tun green. That works fine.

My problem is that every icon in the gallery change the color and not only the icon in the line. How can I fix that?

Thanks...

Benjamin

Hi @Bennjamin ,
Can you try If(ThisItem.IsSelected && (Checkbox2.Value=true Or Checkbox3.Value=true);Black;Red)

or
If(ThisItem.IsSelected, If(Checkbox2.Value=true || Checkbox3.Value=true,Black,Red))

hope it will resolve your issue. Mark it as solution, if works!

HI @Bennjamin , I hope this post helps to resolve the issue.

@WarrenBelz I am happy to discuss half resolved issue, please suggest a better solution.

This is your current formula:
If(ThisItem.IsSelected, If(Checkbox2.Value=true || Checkbox3.Value=true,Black,Red))

Is the Form fields reflect the Gallery item you have selected? If yes then
instead of referring to Checkbox.Selected.Value please use ThisItem.ColumnName.Value

Because, When are you going to use Form Fields, the field values related to only selected item.

And When we refer ThisItem.ColumnName refers to this item of the gallery, which means it returns that particular column's value for the corresponding item in the gallery.

So for a color condition to all Items refer below formula: (don't use ThisItem.IsSelected)

If(ThisItem.ColumnName1.Value=true || ThisItem.ColumnName2.Value =true,Black,Red)

Example: for 3 faces (I have used 2 icons face & circle and Grouped them)

If(ThisItem.Active.Value=Text("Inactive"),RGBA(237,164,147,1),RGBA(202,232,248,1)) //if match then red otherwise blue
If(ThisItem.Active.Value=Text("Active") || ThisItem.Active.Value=Text("Inactive"),RGBA(202,232,248,1),LightGoldenRodYellow) //When nutral then yellow otherwise blue
If(ThisItem.Active.Value=Text("Active"),RGBA(179,218,173,1),RGBA(202,232,248,1)) //if match then green otherwise blue

@Bennjamin,
The form you use is used to add or update data of collection or your actual data source?
This form contains "Item" property and I hope in your case it is "Gallery.Selected" So form only reflects values for only selected item.
So after updating your form fields you have to save those checked values for your selected item into the respective column/field.
And the CheckBox1, CheckBox2, CheckBox3 controls are related to which field(s)?

Are you going to store the value of CheckBox in the data source for the particular column? If yes then instead of

Checkbox3.Value=true

use for boolean column ThisItem.ColumnName.Value=true or for text column ThisItem.ColumnName.Value="neutral".
Dropdown DataCardValue5 is related to my ColumnName (Active) represents status having choices ["Active","Inactive"]

So instead of using DataCardValue5.Selected.Value I have used ThisItem.Active.Value

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One example related to CheckBox my DataField is "EquipmentStored" and I am saving values into the field using the checkbox. So here I have 4 CheckBox and I am going to save values in Column/Field "EquipmentStored".

HI @Bennjamin ,

You have not included the code you have used here, but you need to use ThisItem.FieldName to refer to the field you are comparing so it only affects the individual record.

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

Hi @WarrenBelz,

thank you for your answer. But where I get the FieldName? It´s a gallery from a Sharepoint list.

Sorry, but i am a nooby beginner -.-.

Thanks.

@Bennjamin ,

Can you please post (in Text) the code you are using now - I am simply saying to use ThisItem. in front of the field names you are using to set the colour of the icon. Assuming the checkbox is in the gallery, it would be

If(ThisItem.ChackboxName.Value, WhateverColour)

@WarrenBelz

If(Checkbox2.Value=true Or Checkbox3.Value=true;Black;Red)

@WarrenBelz

The checkbox is in Screen1, sorry

Hi @Bennjamin,

Please use ThisItem.IsSelected in your If statement, Example as in my code I have used.

If(ThisItem.IsSelected && ThisItem.Active.Value=Text("Inactive"),RGBA(200,15,46,1),If( ThisItem.IsSelected && ThisItem.Active.Value=Text("Active"),RGBA(67,176,42,1),RGBA(0,153,204,1)))

Both are active but only the selected items' icon is green. Refer below image
