Modern Fluent Toggle Control not running any change event when bound global variable is updated

When my modern (fluent UI) toggle control is bound to a global variable, and the variable changes the corresponding OnCheck, OnChange, ... events are not triggered, hence the code there is not executed.

 

I'm used to that being possible from classic toggle control?!

I can resort to still have classic controls displayed, but that's not ideal, because you run into a mess when mixing controls.

I'm doing this within a component library

 

Is that something still to come or by design?

 

TIA, Stefan

Hi @smadep ,

 

I have made a very simple test on a Toggle that not inside components and have found that it could not trigger the actions OnCheck... as well. Please try and append the behavior functions on the Controls that will set the variable, follow the Set or Update Context function.

Hope this helps.

Hi @smadep ,

Will you provide more details if possible? So the community can suggest a better solution.

I have created a component by adding toggle input in it. And tested it after adding it on screen.
Try it,Refer this If(varShowFields=-1,Set(varShowFields,0),Set(varShowFields,-1)); and add your formula on 
OnCheck and OnUnckeck property of the Toggle field.

Add Output property on your component ("VarShowFields") (Select type that depends on your variable, boolean, text, number, date, record, table, currency, etc. ) and set its value as your variable ("varShowFields"). 

Insert your component on the screen. and use its properties.

Below is the text label in the component:

VishuS_2-1648445402759.png

below is the text label on the Screen and its text property is :

If(Component1_1.VarShowFields=-1,"True Text when varShowFields=-1","False Text when varShowFields=0")

Note: Or you can use a button, icon, or other components and apply your logic OnSelect/OnChange property of it.

Hope this post helps you.

Hi @Anonymous 

I'm using the toggle only inside the component, so it's bound to a global variable (boolean, initialized with false) and doesn't need to be an output property.

The toggle's Checked-property is bound to the global variable. And the OnChecked event handler of the toggle should run some code when the global variable changes to true.

There is couple other controls events inside the component from where that variable can be set true.

 

@v-jefferni, Trying to apply DRY-principle I don't want to add the complex code from toggle's OnCheck to multiple other event handlers and the classic toggle-control was helping a lot in that respect.

 

Thanks for your help,

Stefan

Hi @smadep,

Sorry friend my bad.

For your concern;

Set a new global variable on the toggle control inside your component and try to access it inside any screen, you will get an error (No variable found).

That's why create an output property inside control and apply your toggle output (OnCheck/OnUncheck) to this output property. And then use this output property to change the value of your Global variable. 

refer to my previous post. (Or to avoid such an issue, insert toggle directly into the screen)
Thanks!

hey @Anonymous,

of course, in light of "encapsulation", the component's global variable is only used inside the component and not outside on any screen.

@smadep,

That's why I suggested it in the first reply.

If you want to use any result outside of the component. The better way to add output property and access its value for another variable, control, component, data source,  etc in the screen.
Thanks!

@Anonymous ,

I thought that's clear now: nothing goes out of the component. no need for output property.

Instead I'm more interested if that classic behavior will still come with modern toggle!

Forget about component at all. Look at @v-jefferni reply - (s)he could in fact replicate the problem on a regular screen responding to my real question/problem.

Hi, am facing the same issue. In my toggles I used and use to have a boolean variables in the default property, hence they can be set and used to execute code in their events (OnCheck, OnChange, etc) from other places in the app. Somehow a really nice way to keep code centrally (instead of replicating or keeping them in buttons) and keep control of your code. There are a number of interesting articles on that already - here an example from this forum: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Call-code-easy-way-to-reuse-code/m-p/411244#...

So I guess the question is why the 'modern' Toggle is behaving differently?
