Power Apps automatic page/screen numbers

Hi all,

I was wondering if there was a way to define screen/page numbers in a sequential order without using a gallery.

So for example, if I can have a label set up to determine what page number it’s on and apply it to all screens/create a component that will identify the sequential number of the screen.

I am not sure I understand your use case, screens are static in PowerApps, they don't change based on variables or anything, they just stay in the order you have them in your canvas app studio. Could you maybe go a little further into what it is you are trying to do that would make it easier to not just place the labels on each of your screens where you want them?

@TheRobRush
I’m creating eLearning modules. For accessibility purposes we want to include page numbers on each screen. So I was wondering if there was a way I could formulate a count say if I had 100 pages and I wanted it to say “page 1 of 100” and so on without manually typing it out for each page.

Is there a button that navigates to next page each time, and i assume maybe a back buttton? If so in your onstart set two variables

Set(totalpageVar,<100 or however many.>); Set(currentpageVar,1)

Then have every forward button do

Set(currentpageVar,currentpageVar+1)

eveyr back button do the opposite

and your label would read

"Page "&currentpageVar&" of "&totalpageVar

Sorry I forgot to reply to this! This is what I had thought to do but I was generally wondering if there was an easier way. I’ve made a component using this method and had to build in another couple features to ensure the page numbering doesn’t get ruined if the individual navigates via the contents/course map but overall it’s good to know I was going in the right direction!! Thank you 😊
