Make a Container a Button

Hi, I am trying to make an app home menu that has buttons that takes me to the other screens. However, I want these buttons to have an image and text. I can just put a Navigate() on the image and the text, but I am trying to make it more intuitive and add the button on the whole container. As of now, I have a button outside the container that somewhat matches the container size, but it is not a clean solution. I am wondering if there is a better way to put the action on the container or affix a button on top of a container in a transparent manner so it doesn't move the elements inside the container.

Hi @JC-15041439-0

It would be good to get a mockup picture of what you mean.

You can for sure, place a transparent button, or image, etc over top of an entire container, so when you click it will do what you want, as if its the container,

So the answer is yes for sure.

So put all your stuff in the container, you can then place the "transparent" control over it and even Group them together if you like to make it easier as then the OnSelect will be part of that group.

And bingo :-)

@JC-15041439-0,

Instead of functionality like this, I would suggest you to use the component like navigation which will be best fit.
