Hey,
I have a screen with a form and a label. On that form there are several controls (text input, date input, combobox). With hitting 'Tab', users can go from one control to the other.
I want to change the text from the label when the focus changes. So by tapping through the datacards, the label changes.
I tried the OnSelect-function but that works only if the user clicks on the controls, not with tab.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!

Sorry, but this is not possible in PowerApps

You'll want to use the OnChange property instead.
I'll assume your label holds a SET variable and you want to have it updated when switching fields. Put this code in the OnChange property of each control (text input, date input, combobox).
Set(varYourVariable, your_code_here)
Then put this code in the Text property of the label
varYourVariable

@mdevaney , thank you for the reply, but that is not the wanted solution.
If you use the OnChange property it changes the label after the text has changed and if you switch fields.
The goal is to see different text in the label when the user put the focus on the control. The label acts this way as a kind of tooltip, but without the mouse-hovering. So if you press 'Tab' you go to the textbox in DataCard2 and you see some extra info in the label about what is needed in that textbox. The infotext is too big for tooltip or hinttext.
In the attached example: focus was put in form 1 on textbox 2 now (after putting text in text1). So now I want to see more info about what to put in textbox 2, shown in the label on the right hand side.

Strange, because Power Apps knows where the focus is (as it changes the border) but I understand as a developer we can not find where the focus is set or if an element has focus or not?
Thank you for your effort and reply's @mdevaney !
