    Exactly what i was after! Thank you Reza for making it easy to follow and understand!
    However following these tutorials from another language settings makes for some pitfalls. Of course the ; instead of , as mentioned in a comment to Asbjörns contribution.
    The first i stumbled upon was that when i do ClearCollect i have to surround my collection name with single quotes to make it work.
    Second is that i have to separate the two commands (set var to false and then navigate) with double semicolons. Sometimes it is ;; and sometimes & is sufficient.

    • @RezaDorrani

      For the Icon property you want to change or highlight (example: Color) - use a formula to evaluate if the item is selected

      If(ThisItem.IsSelected, Red, Gray)

    This is a great tutorial. Thanks.
    Please how can I make the rectangle stop flickering when selected? When a menu item is selected, the previous rectangle of selected menu item does not hide fast enough so the rectangles (previous and new) seem to flicker sometimes, especially on canvas screen.
    Thanks once again for sharing your knowledge.

    • @RezaDorrani
      @RezaDorrani  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Jonathan,
      The component has a gallery which has a default property value set. The code here looks for App.ActiveScreen.
      It takes a while for Power Apps to calculate the App.ActiveScreen and hence the flickering effect.
      To avoid this, create another property in component of type Screen, set this property everytime a nav item is clicked (using component output property to set a global variable) and use this global variable as input property value.

  • @MrDionmar
    @MrDionmar ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Mr Reza, How are you ?
    Instead of create a table in Powerapps components (in hardcode), What do you think, If you create a Sharepoint list of MENU values (Home, Task, Details, etc) only to be dynamic ?, in this list, you only need to specify the name of Label Menu, name of icon and screen to navigate.
    Is it easier if we think about component reutilization?
    What do you think about this idea my friend ?

    This video is great and helpful. Appreciate your skills and time. By the way, I tried changing the color of "rectSelected" and background color of the item selected. For some reason, when I click other items to test, the item selected is incorrect ( they sort of bounce around). In the component screen it doesn't do that, but on Screens it does it. To elaborate, let's say I click on "Home", color changes and the focus stays on "Home", but when I start to click other nav items like "New Record", the focus goes to other nav items. I have to click "New Record" one more time for it to be selected. I mean the navigate to screen is perfect. Any idea? Thank you.

I would like to be able to append NewForm(FormName) to the OnSelect that was applied to the Icon in this example for one of the items in the gallery. I have added properties to the NavItems table "FormMode" and "FormName" so that it can continue to be a reusable component. I have tried several different variations to set the function for this one nav item.
      ThisItem.FormMode(ThisItem.FormName);
      ThisItem.FormMode & char(40) & ThisItem.FormName & char(41) & char (53) (didn't work)
      I have tried simply setting NewForm(FormName) in the collection and calling it that way.
      I have put all of these varying attempts in as the ToolTip so I can see if they syntax looks correct, and it does, it just never triggers.
      I have also tried setting a variable in the OnSelect set(varMode, ThisItem.FormMode) so that I could try passing the variable through an output variable to the app, and trying to change the mode of the form based on that variable, but it takes two clicks of the navigational item to set the variable for some reason.
      Have you found any way to use the component to change the mode of a form within the app? I noticed there were two questions asking the same, but setting the onVisible property of the screen won't work if we're trying to re-use the same form with different modes.

      @@aprilsuk7311 Trick is to set form mode on visible of screen where form is. If user clicks an item in a gallery, set a variable to view form. When user clicks edit item in gallery, set variable to edit form. When user navigates away from form screen, on hidden function, set form mode to new. When user navigates to screen from menu, it will open new form.

    thanks for this feature. I think I will use that a lot. As Asbjørn mentioned you forgot to explain how to get the rectangular part. I did something different. I use the TemplateFill function in the Components and use this formula If(ThisItem.Screen = App.ActiveScreen, RGBA(12, 26, 85, 0.49), RGBA(12, 26, 85, 0)). Then the background gets a little darker. If(ThisItem.IsSelected, does not work for this feature thus whenever navigated from that screen to another screen you get another view of the component.

      Components is the right approach for building any reusable artifacts and since left navigation menu is one that will be used in multiple Apps, this is the ideal approach.

    Hi Reza, Excellent video. Thanks for helping the community. Can we use the canvas'es instead of adding too many screens and set the ClearCollect (colNav) to include with Canvas? Will this improve the performance in any way?

      @@RezaDorrani sorry for the misunderstanding. All i was hoping to make use of the canvases from the scroll gallery instead of adding too many screens just to improve the app performance. As an example in this video about the use of canvases.

      Is there any chance you have made of this design? Or you intend to make anytime in the future? Would be interesting to see. Appreciated thanks.

    Awesome tutorial! But question… my navigation menu seems to be “reloading” the data on each page (the icons, text, and even the rectangle). I notice a spinner for a slight second too.
    Am I doing something wrong?

      Don’t remember running into that issue hence not sure.

      @@RezaDorrani understood, it seems like I may not be the only person having this issue, is there any reason that my gallery/component would be “refreshing/reloading” the data with each screen change?
      My assumption is it’s because it’s technically a new gallery that’s loaded on the page… but it’s inconvenient that everything reloads with each screen change
      Any thoughts you can give would be greatly appreciated! Your work is fantastic

      I do not have a video reference for your scenario and would have to try it out to provide guidance.
      I would recommend posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com
