Collect item depending on number in TextInput

[katunar]

Hi guys,

I have a gallery, in which I display different items. There is also a TextInput in the gallery. When I type in a number in the TextInput, I want to collect this item in a collection multiple times (based on the number in the textinput).

Can anybody help?

Thanks!

When you say "collect this time" which item are you referring to? All items in the gallery or a specific item from the gallery?

Hi @PowerAddict,

Right now, when I type in a number in the textinput, the specific item will be collected.

So if I understand you right, if the user types in 2 in the text box, you want to add the 2nd item in the gallery 2 times into the collection. Is that right?

In every record, there is a text box. So when the user types in a 3 in any of the text boxes, I want the item (which is located in the same record as the text box I just typed the 3 in) to be collected 3 times in a collection.

Exactly, that's what I need!

Try something like this:

On the OnVisible property of the screen or the OnStart property of the app, have a collection of numbers (until the max number a user can enter)

ClearCollect(NumberCollection,["1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10",...,"98","99","100",...])

Then on the OnSelect property of a button, have this to collect the item multiple times:

ForAll(FirstN(NumberCollection,Value(ThisItem.TextInput1.Text)), Collect(CollectionName, ThisItem))

You might have to access the text box in a slightly diff way than ThisItem.TextInput1.Text

Let me know if this helps.
