@WarrenBelz @Inogic @MS.Ragavendar

This the requirement in my power app gallery. I have Start and end button in my power app gallery each items.

Existing code :

Start button display property - If(IsBlank(ThisItem.'Time Start'), DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled)
 
End button display property -  If(BadgeCanvas2.Content= "In Progress", DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled)
 
Project Requirement :

✅ Start button of the first item → Always visible and enabled
✅ Finish button of the first item → Hidden initially, shown only when BadgeCanvas2.Content = "In Progress"
✅ All other Start and Finish buttons → Disabled initially.
✅ Start button of the next item → Enabled only after clicking Finish on the previous item.

Kindly help to solve this problem.

Hide Power app gallery buttons from each items.

Hi @CU06021302-0

You have to have a State check on the previous item so there has to be something that tells us when the State ='s finished. Do you have a field you can use to do that?

I have the below suggestion as well, there are multiple ways to do it, I'm looking at it from a Wizard perspective, not just from a Gallery perspective.

So one thing I would suggest is that you have a Step number and Status in your Data. since you essentially want your steps to be in a Gallery, and you want the people to only be able to click the buttons and do something at that step when the previous step is done, adding a Step value and Step Status would allow you to both Sort and would easily allow you to do what you want.

I get you want to use the controls, but that is not a good way to do it, as you may change later on you do this.

So imagine this

In your data you have the Step # (1,2,3,4,5,6)

For Step Status it would be simple as a boolean essentially is this step down or not

Remember, people might come back later and not complete the whole thing so you need a way to know which things in the Gallery should be blocked or not blocked if they don't complete it all at once time.

So in every item you can easily do this for the controls you want locked or unlocked

Let's pretend this is the DisplayMode

What it does is says, if I am on gallery item 1 just leave the button or whatever in edit mode as I am not done

If I am not Row 1, then take my Step Number and subtract 1 and see if the previous row is completed

If(Step Number = 1, DisplayMode.Edit , // For every other row it would come here and do this LookUp(DataSource/MyCollection, Step Number = ThisItem.StepNumber -1).Step Status )

Now to wrap this up we need to make sure that the Data keeps the Step Status updated

So in your button that would save or complete the current step you would also want to do

Update(DataSource/Collection, ThisItem, { Step Status: true });

Now the next row automatically unlocks

Last thing.

If you allow people to come back later, we need to figure out, as we load the data into the gallery if the buttons and the Status of the row should be set to true or not.

If you are interested in talking more let me know.

Can you provide a visual of what you are trying to accomplish?

Do you essentially want to move from row to row in the gallery editing items and showing the status?
