I have 5 screens that navigate to the 6th screen.
On the 6th screen i need a label that tells me what screen i entered the 6th screen from (i.e. screen 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5)
I would like a variable that gets updated eveytime this happens ?
Thanks
Dave
So here is how I would handle that. Start with your first screen and set a global variable to this value:
Set(varScreen, App.ActiveScreen)
In the 6th screen have a label that shows what screen you came from using this varScreen.Name. In your navigation formulas that take you to the 6th screen, set varScreen to the current active screen before the navigate commands
@Anonymous
Another option to consider is just pass the context to the screen in your Navigate formula.
Ex:
Navigate(newScreen, {referringScreenName: App.ActiveScreen.Name})
If you are consistent on all your navigates, then your screens will all have a referringScreenName context variable to use.
And, then your label Text property can be: referringScreenName
I hope this is helpful for you.
