Unlock PowerApps potential with horizontal scrolling in vertical gallery, only by Dhruvin

To implement a horizontal scroll in PowerApps Vertical Gallery, we will first need to add a scrollbar in the Power Apps Gallery, which is crucial when using Vertical Gallery to display data. The Vertical Gallery supports a limited number of columns by default. To add more columns, a horizontal scroll is needed.

  • Begin by adding a Horizontal Container
  • Add Label Control in the Gallery
  • Set Container Width as Gallery’s Width
  • Set Horizontal Overflow as Scroll
  • Add Headers in Gallery

A Gallery control can display multiple records from a data source, each having multiple types of data. The first item inside the gallery is the template and any changes made to the template will be reflected throughout the Gallery control.

However, a user must consider several limitations. For instance, Display form, Edit form, PDF viewer, Power BI tile, Rich text editor, Scrollable screen (Fluid grid), and Web barcode scanner are not supported within a gallery.

The gallery has key properties like Default (selects the item or record from the data source when the app starts up) and Selected (the selected item). It also has accessible properties such as AllItems, AllItemsCount, BorderColor, BorderStyle, BorderThickness, DelayItemLoading and DisplayMode, among others.

Finally, some accessibility guidelines must be met. For instance, there must be adequate color contrast between BorderColor and the color outside the gallery; Fill and the color outside the gallery. Screen readers will announce when items in the gallery change with mention of the AccessibleLabel. And, keyboard support must be considered with ShowScrollbar set to true.
