Hi All,

I have built the following hamburger menu. When I click on the respective option, the correct page opens, it should be like this. I have built it like this:

In the app it looks like this:

But now I want to say that when I click the last Option "Abmelden", the app should not redirect to a screen, but should close completely by itself.

How can I achieve that? Do you have any ideas?
Is there something like Exit App?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi @PowerSäm ,

You need the Exit Function

Actually looking at it again, you cannot in that structure - it is expecting a screen

I guess that the OnSelect formula of your gallery looks something like this:

Navigate(ThisItem.Screen)

You could maybe change that to the following:

If(ThisItem.Title = "Abmelden"; Exit(); Navigate(ThisItem.Screen) )

Alternatively, you could navigate the user to an 'Exit Confirm' screen. That screen would contain a label 'Are you sure you want to exit?', and you could add an 'OK' button that calls Exit().

Thank you, for your replies, @WarrenBelz & @timl.

@timl, I did not put these options behind a gallery, but behind the app itself, in the OnStart function (see pic below).

So is it possible to put your IF statement somewhere there too? Or is that not possible?

Otherwise I will work with the suggested workaround, the 'Exit Confirm' screen.

Thank you in advance!

Hi @PowerSäm

I can't see any way of adding a call to Exit in your existing formula so if it's workable, I think the 'Exit Confirm' screen would be the easiest option here.

Thanks for your quick reply, @timl .

Ok, then I will use the second way to work around this issue.
Thank you so much!

I had a similar scenario when I wanted to close the entire tab on click of a button from powerapp. I tried using Exit() formula but it only redirects you to the other screen instead of closing it.
You can develop a PCF component to meet that requirement.
Here's the link which can help you with the designing.
