Power Apps – Customized fade-in and fade-out notification
5 steps
Introduction:
This is the blueprint on how to make your own fade-in and fade-out notification out of a label and container. The out-of-the-box Notify function is used for notification messages, but if you want a notification that is customized and in the canvas screen, you may follow this tutorial.
Step 1:
Insert a button named Button1. Change the following properties:
Text property
"Show Notification"
OnSelect property
UpdateContext({varTimerStart:true})
Step 2:
Insert a timer named Timer1. Change the following properties:
Duration property
4000
OnTimerEnd property
UpdateContext({varTimerStart:false})
Reset property
true
Start property
varTimerStart
Step 3:
Insert a container named Container1. Change the following properties:
DropShadow property
DropShadow.None
Width property
400
Height property
50
BorderRadius (RadiusBottomLeft, RadiusBottomRight, RadiusTopLeft, RadiusTopRight) property
30
Fill property
RGBA(85, 138, 41,
If(Timer1.Value < 3700,Timer1.Value /300,1 - ((Timer1.Value - 3700) /300)))
Note: the container will seem invisible for now
Step 4:
Insert a label named Label1 inside Container1. Change the following properties:
Text property
"You have saved the item successfully."
Align property
Align.Center
Width property
Parent.Width
Height property
Parent.Height
X property
0
Y property
0
Color property
RGBA(255, 255, 255, 1)
Note: the label may seem invisible for now
Step 5:
Select Timer1. Change the following properties:
Visible property
false
Conclusion:
To test, activate play mode. Click the ‘Show Notification’ button. You will notice that the notification fades in, shows for a while, and then fades out slowly. You can use this as an alternative for the built-in Notify function in Power Apps canvas apps.
