Gallery Item Edit

[omi18]

Hello People,

I'm using a blank gallery to add custom fields. If the user selects the Pin below it should show Textbox. I have item property set for this pin is: UpdateContext({Discpop:true});Select(Parent);

And textbox visible property is: Discpop 

When I click on the pin nothing happens. 

Thanks,

Omi

Hi @omi18 :

Could you tell me:

• Which of the following situations is more in line with your needs?

Case1:

Case2:

• what is  '[discount].[TotalTuitionDiscount]''s primary key ?

Case1:

This function can be solved in one step (no need to set pin).I've made a test for your reference:

1\Creart a gallery(Gallery1) and add a pin ito this gallery

2\Add a label control into this gallery and set it's Visible proeprty to:

ThisItem.Primarykey=Gallery1.Selected.Primarykey

Case2:

I suggest you add a field named "Pin" (data type is boolean/default value is false) in'[discount].[TotalTuitionDiscount]'.

1\Set the Pin's OnSelect property to:

Select(Parent);Patch('[discount].[TotalTuitionDiscount]',ThisItem,{Pin:true})

2\Set the label control's Visible proeprty to:

ThisItem.Pin

Hi @v-bofeng-msft ,

My situation is: user will select the semester and ID from the Combobox.  then it will populate the selected student registered for the courses in the selected semester. if there is no discount mentioned then the user will click on the icon(pin) on the right which will unhide the text box. And upon clicking the submit button it will patch the data and the textbox will go hidden.

Let me know if you have a question.

Thanks,

Omi

Hi @omi18 :

Sorry, I still have a lot of doubts:

• There seems to be no pin icon in your screenshot. According to your description, it should be in a gallery, right?
• Is the "text box" you mentioned inside the gallery or outside the gallery?
• I don't quite understand what you said about "no discount mentioned". Could you explain it in detail?
• Could you explain in detail how the app is set up?

Best Regards,

Hi @v-bofeng-msft ,

Yes, it is there. I was trying something else.

The textbox is outside of the gallery.

About discount: once the user selects the student using the dropdown. Gallery will show registered courses for the selected student. (by default there will not be a discount marked for courses)

App Setup: This app is for granting a discount to the student based on request. I'm using SQL Server as a database. And using SQL view for lookup.

Let me know if you have any question.

Thanks,

Omi

Hi @omi18 :

If my understanding is incorrect, please help me point it out:

• You want to control the visibility of the textinput control outside the gallery through a Pin icon in the glery control.
  

If so,please try this soluiton:

1\Set the pin's OnSelelct Preperty to:

UpdateContext({Discpop:!Discpop})

2\Set the TextInput Control's Visible prolerty to:

Discpop

Hi @v-bofeng-msft 

Yes, I did try this. The text box does not come up after clicking on the pin.

Pin Onselect Property: UpdateContext({Discpop:!Discpop});Select(Parent);

Text box Visible Property: Discpop

Hi @omi18 :

There are several possible causes of this problem():

• Reference context variables across screens:Pin and text box are not in the same screen
• Ambiguity:There is an context variable named Discpop and a global variable named Discpop in your app

If this is the case, I suggest you try this formula:

Pin Onselect Property: Set(Discpop,!Discpop);Select(Parent);

Text box Visible Property: Discpop
