Power Apps: Text Box Input Control

Power Apps Text Input Control (the Important Stuff)
Wouldn't you like to know all the important properties and aspects of the Text Input or Text Box Control in Power Apps? We'll cover the differences between the text and default properties. We'll go over the OnChange event. You'll learn about hint text, adding a clear button, maximum length, the format property, the mode property (single ling, multiline, and password), handling passwords, adding spell check, using the mode to disable the control, and we'll cover the border radius to create rounded corners. We'll also cover the Notify and the Reset function! Some may think this stuff is really basic. I think sometimes intermediate creators of Power Apps may not fully know and understand what all I'm about to run through, so pay close attention!

Hey Shane, I have a checklist app with a simple text input control to say "Yes' or 'No' but when you start to type in the input box, it zooms in automatically every time and is quite frustrating for the user as they need to zoom out every time for every question & it can be a little tricky to zoom out too. Do you know if there is a way to stop the app from zooming in?

Hi, I love your videos on Power apps. I need a suggestion. I need to calculate the difference between current time and show it in a text box / label. I used the below formula in the Text property of the Text Label
Minute(now()) - Minute(ProdTime)
where the ProdTime is a variable which holds a time. When I update this formula, it gives me the hour difference between these two time (lets say 15 minutes). But the challenge is it is dynamic meaning when it past another minute, the text label still shows 15 minutes and doesn't change to 16. How to achieve this?

Hi,

Thanks for this video.

Would you be able to help me with; how to have the keyboard locked to caps-on when focussed on a text-input-box. So that everything is typed in upper caps all the time.——specially on mobile

Darren, great starter video - I was actually looking to see if you have a tutorial on patching Text Input controls to SharePoint list columns? I am building an App where I have made a custom form that has a layout which isnt possible with using the 'Edit form' control. So I therefore need to patch the controls back to the associated SharePoint list.

Hi, I love your videos on Power apps.
How can I set up a label to show the number value from a Form data card that is formatted as a currency number and show in the label de $ and commas?

Hi, the first example doesn't work : the reset function is ok. But impossible to reset the text with the expression textinput.text = "new..." ?? What is the solution ?

[sdponnekanti]

Hi Darren,

Any suggestion you give us on how to insert a column to a text field - so that if i fill the text field the data should save in sharepoint column.

Please advise Thank you

[mattparadise]

You never showed how to make the first example work. You just showed how to reset it. Is there no way to update a text box with text?

[dandrem.]

I just want to know how to add default text to a datacard v_v and no one knows how.
