Create a Custom Dropdown Control in Canvas PowerApps

As we know that a Standard Dropdown control do not have enough features and has limited properties to modify. Hence I have created a custom dropdown menu. Some drawbacks in Standard Dropdown,1. It shows only 1 particular attribute as value. Example: “Name”2. If multiple records of same name exist, then you cannot differentiate them. This is Custom Dropdown I have created, Steps to make the custom dropdown menu Step 1. Insert a ‘Text Input’ and ‘Horizontal Gallery’ and set height of gallery of your desired height also change Template Size according to fields added into a row. (As I have added only Name, Phone and Image) Step 2: Add an Icon ‘Down Arrow’ at the right of ‘Text Input’ and change property. onSelect = UpdateContext({showDropdown: !showDropdown})   //Condition to show/hide the CustomDropdown (Gallery). Step 3: Property to be changed.‘Text Input’ changes below, Default = textVal              //It’s a Variable Fill = // Anything you feel suitable, I used “RGBA(230, 230, 230, 1)” Height and Text Size = // Anything you feel suitable. onChange = UpdateContext({showDropdown: !IsBlank(Self.Text)})             // Condition to show/hide the CustomDropdown (Gallery). ‘Gallery’ changes below, Items = Search(Accounts, TextInput.Text, “name”)             // Filter Parameter by text. showScrollBar = false TemplateFill = // Anything you feel suitable, I used “RGBA(255, 255, 255, 1)” TemplatePadding = 10 TemplateSize = // As per your contents in a row Visible = showDropdown              //It’s a Variable Step 4: To add functionality of basic dropdown on selection.Add a button to of size equal to template Size (i.e: cover entire record section) and change properties given below, onSelect = UpdateContext({textval: ThisItem.’Account Name’})    //Defined variable HoverFill = //Anything you feel suitable, I used “ColorFade(RGBA(240,240,240, 0.3), -10%)” Step 5: Custom Dropdown complete. You will have something like this, Note: For additional responsiveness in design, change X, Y, Height, Width. Hope this helps!
