Containers-change field size and adding a text box along with the list box

[Km00]

I'm hoping someone has experience in Containers in Powerapps.  I'm just starting to use them more and still at a beginner stage.

The team wants a screen that shows these containers based on another field that was selected on a previous screen.  If there is more then one selection, it should show both the containers based on the other values.

I'm sure i'm not explaining all that well.

Basically, say they choose 2 options from this list:

On the next screen, it will bring up these list boxes that show options based on the previous 2 dropdown selections.

I have the visible thing working as you can see, but my issues are:

Is there a way to make the boxes bigger in the area? Or will that look funny, just trying to make it so it doesnt look goofy when there is only one item chosen. like such:

 There are up to 6 containers right now, so if they were all checked, it would look like this (some of them have nothing in right now):

2nd issue:  how in the world can i get text boxes above each of these list items.  I tried to add to the container and that was a epic fail.

I did figure out the label issue. 

so now im down to 1 problem 🙂

Hi @Km00 ,

Could you please share more details about your scenario? Would you like to control the size of containers based on the number of containers that showing in the screen?

If so, I think it would be quite complex to manage sizes of all 6 containers, for the reasons of:

1\ You will need to set Height and Width of List Boxes to manage the size based on the amount of containers that have items in it.

2\ You will need to set Size property of List Boxes to make font size adjust to the list box.

3\ You will need to set X/Y of each container if you would like to manage positions of each container based on the amount of containers that have items in it.

I made a simple test as a demonstration:

Below are properties set ups:

1\ Size of List Box:

13+If(IsBlank(ComboBox1.Selected),2,0)+If(IsBlank(ComboBox2.Selected),2,0)+If(IsBlank(ComboBox3_1.Selected),2,0)+If(IsBlank(ComboBox4_2.Selected),2,0)+If(IsBlank(ComboBox5.Selected),2,0)+If(IsBlank(ComboBox6.Selected),2,0)

2\ Height of List Box:

CountRows(ComboBox6.SelectedItems)*(40*(1+If(IsBlank(ComboBox1.Selected),0.1,0)+If(IsBlank(ComboBox2.Selected),0.1,0)+If(IsBlank(ComboBox3.Selected),0.1,0)+If(IsBlank(ComboBox4.Selected),0.1,0)+If(IsBlank(ComboBox5.Selected),0.1,0)+If(IsBlank(ComboBox6.Selected),0.1,0)))

3\ Height and Width of Container1:

ListBox1.Height and ListBox1.Width

4\ Y of Container2( the one below Container1), Container4 and Container6 are similar:

Container1.Y+Container1.Height

I did not set any X-axis values of those containers so they would only go up and down. 

Hope this helps.
