You are developing a canvas app to monitor time. The app includes a Text Input control named TIC1 and a Timer control named TIM1. You need to set TIM1 to a default value. What should you do?

Question

Options

• AWrite code in the OnChange property of TIC1 that assigns the value of the Duration property of
• BAssign the Text property of TIC1 to the Duration property of TIM1.
• CSet the Text property of TIC1 to the current system time.
• DAdd the clock icon to the app and use the OnSelect property to set the Duration property for

• A
  5% (1)
• B
  95% (20)

Explanation

In Power Apps canvas apps, the Timer control (TIM1) has a Duration property that determines how long the timer runs (in milliseconds). To set a default value for the timer using a Text Input control, you bind the Duration property of TIM1 directly to the Text property of TIC1. This creates a live data binding: whatever numeric value the user types into TIC1 automatically drives the timer's duration. Option A is wrong because OnChange is an event handler, not a property assignment via binding. Option C sets TIC1 to system time but doesn't connect it to the timer's Duration. Option D introduces an unnecessary clock icon and misuses OnSelect for this purpose. The correct declarative approach in canvas apps is property-to-property binding: TIM1.Duration = TIC1.Text.
