Gallery Properties

Common gallery properties you'll find in these snippets:

• Items: Data source (collection, table, or inline data)
• TemplateFill: Background color of each item
• TemplateSize: Height/width of each item
• TemplatePadding: Spacing between items
• WrapCount: Number of columns for grid layouts
• Layout: Vertical or Horizontal orientation

Selection Patterns

Most snippets include selection highlighting:

TemplateFill: =If(ThisItem.IsSelected, Color.LightBlue, Color.White)

Responsive Design

Many layouts use formulas for responsive behavior:

WrapCount: =Max(1, RoundDown((Parent.Width - 64) / 200, 0))

Getting Started

1. Choose a layout that fits your needs
2. Copy the YAML code from the snippet
3. Paste into Power Apps Studio (Edit > Paste as YAML)
4. Modify the Items property to use your data source
5. Customize colors and styling as needed
