Hi @Anonymous ,
Welcome to PowerApps. I also do this in all my apps.
Here is the simplest way I've found:
- Insert a Label Control (or HTMLtext Control) and stretch it across any Buttons the user could click
- Populate it with your text ("Are you sure?", etc.)
- To get real spiffy, use a Switch or If function to change the text depending on various scenarios in your application!
- Set its Fill Property to RGBA(255,255,255,.90) for that "See through" effect
- Set its Visible Property to varOverlay
- Trigger this variable by someone clicking "Cancel" or the the Back Arrow in your app
- Example: OnSelect of the "Cancel" button; Set(varOverlay, true)
- Add two buttons to the Overlay: "Cancel" (again) and "Yes"
- OnSelect of the "Yes" button, trigger all your dangerous logic
- OnSelect of the "Cancel" (again) button, Set(varOverlay, false)

Here is the harder way (but better for reuse):
- Create a Component so its reusable across apps!

Good luck!!

Hi @Anonymous ,

A label control that @seadude mentioned is a text control, it can show the message that you want to show to the users, so this could be the windows. Then you can make this text control only visible when user click on the submit button. This makes this label control a pop up windows.
