Unable to update caption

pocalipse — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 10:45:47 GMT

I'm trying to update the caption on a group control but nothing is happening in the UI from within my code in my C# module:

The caption value is updated and has the correct value when ever I run this code but the UI doesn't reflect this value - why?

I've tried using a label in my group on the ribbon as well but that doesn't update either.

What to do ?

Did you run Build or Rebuild?

What do you mean ?

I'm trying to update the caption at runtime from my C# code in a module.

As far as I know, you can't update the caption of a ribbon item at runtime. However, you can create multiple group controls in your DAML file that have different captions and show/hide them at runtime via conditions.

Hi @tempStephenRhea_NV5

Thanks for your reply. I don't like your answer but it is actually a great idea creating multiple groups.

You can also create a button that does nothing. Janky, but better than managing the visibility state of a bunch of labels if you need to show more dynamic text (eg "1 of 666").
