set a default for displaying data by SEARCH

[Vhutali]

Hi all,

I want to set a default display for a small rectangle. i have a couple of icons that when one selected, data related to the icon is displayed on a small rectangle and i achieved this by using search, not filter. 

i tried this: FIRST(TableName) and it didnt work

Hi @Vhutali ,

What is the Search code you are using and what exactly to you want to see on the rectangle that is not there now?

Hi Warren

Here is the code: Search(Demonstrations, GalInfoVar,"crb7a_demoname")

I want to see the details of the first icon as default on the rectangle

Thanks @Vhutali ,

I probably did not ask enough questions

So

• Demonstrations is your list name 
• GalInfoVar is a field in this List
• You are looking for a specific string crb7a_demoname in this list

Is this what you are searching for or is crb7a_demoname a control name?

When you save default of a rectangle, are you referring to a text box?

What exactly is Data related to the icon?

[Vhutali]

Search(Demonstrations, GalInfoVar,"crb7a_demoname")

demonstrations is an entity name from the data source

GallinforVar is a variable 

crba-demo is a name of a control yes.

the rectangle displays the infor from the gallery, the gallery is called gallery1

So when i click a control , the info is filtered into the rectangle depending on what control is selected

now when i load the app the rectangle is blank, i want it to show something atleast. maybe the infor of the first control

@Vhutali ,

Yes, but what is "crb7a_demoname"?,

Are you looking for the contents of Control crb7a_demo? If so, what type of control is it?

Also the "rectangle" you describe - I this a label and what property of this do you have the code in?

You seem to be searching for the value in a control in a Variable. What is the Set code of this Variable?

[Vhutali]

"crb7a_demoname " is a column name in an entity, that is searchable and i'm using it to find content . so i'm searching the content by using a demoname, which is a primary field.

the rectangle is a shape, not a label,  . in it there's a gallery, and this code "Search(Demonstrations, GalInfoVar,"crb7a_demoname")"

 is in the ITEMS property of the gallery

Thanks @Vhutali ,

Have you tried

Filter(
   Demonstrations,
   crb7a_demoname=GalInfoVar
)
