Hi, 

I'm creating a custom component that I will use as a footer for my apps, with buttons to navigate throu screens.

Instead of making buttons, I watched a video (I can't find it anymore) in which a horizontal gallery is used, populated with icons.

Could be possible?

If so, when I use the component in my app how can I set the component button to open a specific screen?

Thanks

    Hi @diegomarino ,

     

    I am not sure about the video you are talking about.

    But yes you can navigate through screens using your custom component.

     

    Below is how I created a small working component to navigate through screens:

    Step 1: Create a Custom Component (I have created screens menu with a gallery control)

    Step 2: Your component contains a Gallery and its Items property will hold a collection of Table -> loaded at Start of your App.

    Step 3: In this collection, you can enter name, icon, Screen, visibility condition, etc as property of each value.

    // I created like this
    
    ClearCollect(
     colScreenDetails,
     Table(
     {
     ID: 1,
     Name: "Home Page",
     Screen: 'Main Screen',
     Icon: Icon.Home
     },
     {
     ID: 2,
     Name: "Accounts",
     Screen: 'Accounts Screen',
     Icon: Icon.Database
     }
     )
    )

     

    For Gallery OnSelect,

    Navigate(Gal_Menu.Selected.Screen);

     

    You will be navigated to that screen.

    Make sure you have named the screens correctly to work with.

     

    Just a simple idea how it will work, you can modify as per requirement.

     

    Hope this helps
