Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Morning,

Just wondering if someone could help me out with this one.

I want to press a button which,

1. Navigates to another screen, (known) and

2. Auto populate a Data Card Value as what the button.

 

Cheers,

    You can set a context variable as the third part of the Navigate command enclosed in curly brackets.  This variable is carried over to the target screen.  ie. Navigate(Screen2,Fade,{var: "yourdatahere"}).  On the target screen set the Text property of the DataCardValue  to var.
