Help please!

I am super new to building and would like a really cool/slick app. I am using canvas apps, scroll able screen with 2 cards which works well but I would like a button that would work that if you click it, it would take you to that card on the screen ie. scroll down to that section on clicking.

Most websites have this function select a menu option and it takes you to that section of the website, hope I am making sense! I don't want two screen as I want the user to have the function to scroll through or click to quickly reach the destination!

Thanks in advance!

Hi @NSWIFT92 ,

Do you want to navigate within a screen?

Firstly, please do not use Navigate function in your issue.

Navigate function could only navigate to different screens.

I suggest you use SetFocus function.

It could move input focus to a specific control.

Please notice that it could only move focus to an input control, like textinput, drop down,....

Control like label is not supported.

I assume that you have textinputs in each of the card.

You could set button1's OnSelect in card1:

SetFocus(TextInput2)

set button2's OnSelect in card2:

SetFocus(TextInput3)

..

Then if you click button1, you will jump to card2.

If you click button2, you will jump to card3.

Best regards,

@v-yutliu-msft I tried your approach but the screen doesn't actually 'jump' to the next card, for instance the card is below the visible screen it does't move the scroll bar to jump to the 2nd card?

Thanks
