Question
Setting a label conditionally?
I want to set a label's value dynamically, based on the length of a page list. If the page list has 13 entries/records, I want the label to read "13 Years".
"X Years" where X = number of records in page list.
What's the best way to accomplish this? Is this even possible with a label or do I need to use a different control for this purpose?

Hi Ismar,
Adding to Bhuvana, you can calculate the size of page-list using either of the suggested functions (LengthOfPageList or SizeOfPropertyList).
After that, you can store this value in a property at clipboard using an activity or populate this value through data transform which can be called pre-processing of flow action. Then you can refer this property in the label field at your section as Bhuvana explained.

Hello
You can see the similar kind of example in the UI Gallery.
Just open the UI Gallery landing page and select the option : Grid- Paging - Progressive.
You can see that the total count is displayed along with the grid. Find screenshot.
For details, refer the section pxPaging5 under Data-UIGallery-Features-Repeating class.
hi ,
this property pxResultsCount holds the size of the pagelist.
so use textinput control and give pagelistname.pxResultsCount and next to that give label "Years".
Let us know if this works,
Hi Ismar
I haven't tried this personally. But, you could use either one of these functions to get the length of a pagelist.
LengthOfPageList or SizeOfPropertyList.
You could either write some html where you invoke these functions to get the length and set it to a property or attempt to set the value in the label directly.
Hope that helps.
Bhuvana.
