Thank you for the kind words and thanks for the sub.

Congratulations to you & thanks for watching the videos.

Thanks for the tip!

@@RezaDorrani struggling to get this to work!

Sorted it, its meant to be a , instead of ;

You can directly write this: App.ActiveScreen = ThisItem.Screen It will return true or false

you're the real MVP

Thank you for the amazing feedback! I will keep trying my best.

Great to hear!

Keep going :)

Glad it was helpful!

Awesome! Thank You.

Thank You. I am working on a V2 for this menu.

Thank you

I released a new version of this component recently - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ablgm5WftKrHqIE.html Includes a lot more enhancements.

You are most welcome Manny

Most welcome

Thanks a lot

Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching

Glad you found it useful. The regional settings do impact the formulas. I do wish the formula syntax was consistent for all regions.

Thank You for watching

You are most welcome

Most welcome!

Awesome! Good luck 👍

@@RezaDorrani Hahaha, it doesn't work without a horizontal flexible gallery. 😓

@@conaxlearn8566 You will need to have a fixed width.

Thank you Nader

Your suggestion is spot on. I think I added this later to the video description since I missed it as part of the video.

Most welcome!

Thanks for watching

Thank you! Cheers!

@@RezaDorrani The rectangle(Blue Bar) which we added near to the icons should only be visible when that Home, Task or Detail Screen is selected. I tried to achieve it by setting up visible property but could not. :-(

@@fakharahmedkhan5157 I will have to see your code and app in action to know why. I always recommend posting issues/queries with screenshots to forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/

@@RezaDorrani I will do some research and try to fix it. But I must say we have built an entire app by seeing your tutorials. Cheers 👏 ✌️

Most welcome

Thank You. Here is the V2 video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ablgm5WftKrHqIE.html

Best part about this video was that I have seen a lot of folks build their own versions and make it better. I have plans for a V2 of this component.

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks for watching!

Thank You Jimmy. OnStart in the colNavItems collection.

Hi Jonathan, The component has a gallery which has a default property value set. The code here looks for App.ActiveScreen. It takes a while for Power Apps to calculate the App.ActiveScreen and hence the flickering effect. To avoid this, create another property in component of type Screen, set this property everytime a nav item is clicked (using component output property to set a global variable) and use this global variable as input property value.

Thanks for watching and liking the tutorials. File is repo is fine. I have not updated it in years. I would recommend posting your issue with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com. May be its a general component issue.

I have this same component running within my COVID-19 Tracking solution. powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Emergency-Response-Gallery/Coronavirus-Tracking-application-Power-Apps-template/td-p/491988 github.com/rdorrani/PowerApps/tree/master/Coronavirus%20Tracking The menu should work across all browsers. I did test this in Chrome.

Thank You. Definitely containers is the way forward. I have done videos explaining what they do. Check my playlist on responsive design.

Thanks for watching. There is also a Version 2 of this component. Check it out here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ablgm5WftKrHqIE.html

You would need to change logic in the component. Its not something I can type out here on chat. There would be updates and I would have to try it out to know what it would be.

@@RezaDorrani Got it! Thank you.

Thank You so much! I honestly do not remember - it's been more than a year since I build this :) I don't think it makes a difference using X or PaddingLeft.

Most welcome! Check kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ablgm5WftKrHqIE.htmlsi=22NWT_EPITBraqAw

Check the description of the video. I missed that part in the video so added it to the description.

Hi Mustafa, Check the description of the video. It has that fix :)

Containers are meant to help build responsive Apps. Canvas Components enable reusability. You can use containers in a component.

I have created left navigation panel using reusable components in canvas app in powerapps. This navigation components has gallery , the input data of gallery like MenuItem name , icon and selected screen are coming from a collection which I have created on app.onstart function When I add this component on all screens in design mode it is working fine , even when I play the application from design mode to preview it's working good like it's changing screens on click as usual everything is good however when i published the application and opened it from powerapps service then as soon as I navigate to second screen or screens other than home screen all menuitems are vanishes like no icons and no MenuItem names . When I get back on home screen all things came up again. This is not the case in design mode in design mode everything is working as expected. Could you please help me out what can be the issue here ?

Thanks! I have not come across this issue and hence not sure what is the cause for your issue. I recommend posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com

Components currently do not allow data sources within them. The component shown in video can gets its Table data (input property) from any data source of your choice.

I do not have a video reference on this scenario and would have to try it out to provide guidance. I recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.

Thanks to the amazing response to this video, I do plan on creating an advanced version of this in future (2nd level)

@@RezaDorrani Would you also be able to show how to change the icons if we want to use some that are not included with Power Apps?

Thanks. It is possible. But, containers themselves have scrolling behavior.

Not sure what would be causing this issue. Video description has link to download sample component. Maybe you could look into that. I would also recommend posting your issue with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com

Not sure why it wont show up. I have not faced this issue.

thank you for the prompt response, I think it was power platform delaying issue, I saved a copy of my component, import into my App again, I can see Navitem now. However when I set menu list on App’s onStart, it won’t recognize colNav, any thoughts please thank you again

@@funhouse828 I will have to look at your App in action to know why you are getting the issue. I would recommend posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com

Components have come a long way since this video (although they are still in preview). There is a new property called Behavior for a component which allows once to run Power Fx formulas. Check the component documentation.

I do not have a navigation video from right to left. I will recommend you check on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/

Yes. I did it for a customer. Can be done. But involves more logic and has some complexity.

Most welcome! I have not come across any flickering issues and hence not sure what the reason for your issue is. I recommend posting your issue with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com

I get flickering every time I change pages too… did you ever wind up getting a solution?

@@kenglin13 no I didn't..I tried tutorials from others too but the result was same

Yes can be easily done by adding an additonal gallery I wanted to keep this video as a 101 course on learning how to build components But if you need a more advanced version - with sub menus There is one already available in the community powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Canvas-Apps-Components-Samples/PPOC2020-Hamburger-Menu-Component/td-p/502950

@@RezaDorrani Thank you Reza!

Thank you for the feedback Javier. The menu showcased in the video can have its data loaded from any data source of choice (excel included). Components is the right approach for building any reusable artifacts and since left navigation menu is one that will be used in multiple Apps, this is the ideal approach. Components accept input params (which can be menu data from your data source). To learn more about components and component libraries, check out these 2 videos: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ar9gmbqgz9XPeGQ.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbhpl5aeyr-dcnk.html

​@@RezaDorrani Thank you for the advice! I think i might need 2 galleries (1 nested) for building the left navigation component. But with the icon, the object name could be related from the original source? Thanks again!!

Switching between apps would probably be possible. Launch function would be the answer. To provide the steps, I would have to try it out. I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.

Hello@@RezaDorrani, Thank you very much for your answer. I will ask the question again in the forum. Best Regards, Frederik

Thank you Jhorman.

👍

I have not come across this issue and hence not sure what is the cause for your issue. I recommend posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com

Glad to hear that. I did miss 2 formulas in my video. It is provided in the video description :)

Add section I assume is for the scrollable screen. You may want to put the component outside of that canvas. I have not tested this with the scrollable screen.

For extend to the right, you would need to adjust the formulas inside the component to position the menu controls.

For building forms you need to use the form control. This is just a navigation component. I have a video coming next week on the Form control which covers building 3 categories of forms.

Will add it to my backlog but this is the first request on this topic. I will need a lot more requests on this topic to give this a higher priority.

@@RezaDorrani Thank you for replying and considering it. I will look forward to seeing it.

No idea about that.I recommend checking or posting your query on forums in case someone has done something similar powerusers.microsoft.com

Thanks! Anyway. Your explanations are really clear and mostly of my apps are created using yours tips

Check the description of the video. It has some additional settings that I missed to highlight in the video.

@@RezaDorrani thank you!

You need to import it as a component. Go to edit mode of your app, then components and import.

Yes. You would have to include that logic as component properties. So you would pass both the launch url and the screen to navigate to.

@@RezaDorrani What do you mean as component properties? It is possible to get a quick example? as I am wanting to use the Launch Function as well

@@yutikapatel5995 Component has input and output properties as shown in video. I would have to try it out to provide guidance. I will recommend posting your query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/

For the Icon property you want to change or highlight (example: Color) - use a formula to evaluate if the item is selected Example: Icon Color property - show Red if selected, else Gray) If(ThisItem.IsSelected, Red, Gray)

Thanks for the reply. The code works, but since the component is on every screen, the color doesn’t follow the component to the new screen. Any suggestions?

Make sure that the gallery in the component that is driving the left navigation has the Default property set as follows LookUp(LeftNavigation.NavItems,Screen=App.ActiveScreen)

It worked! Thank you so much! 😁

Glad it worked !

I did not understand the question.

@@RezaDorrani sorry for the misunderstanding. All i was hoping to make use of the canvases from the scroll gallery instead of adding too many screens just to improve the app performance. As an example in this video about the use of canvases. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eduhZtuQtJqVnnU.html Is there any chance you have made of this design? Or you intend to make anytime in the future? Would be interesting to see. Appreciated thanks.

I have not and no plans to do this in future

If its working in edit mode, it should work when App runs. Try editing app and see if it works right. Video description has link to download the component so you can look at the code base.

There is a new property feature called Behavior in components which allows to run code. Check the documentation on that.

@@RezaDorrani thanks Reza

Responsive containers - Yes. Check my latest video on responsive design using containers kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9Vif5N1pqree4U.html

You need to import it as a component. I have not heard anyone face this issue so not sure.

A dropdown control in a navigation menu? You can do that. You would have to add that control in the component itself. Sorry if I misunderstood the question. Either ways this would be something I would have to try. But from a feasibility standpoint, it is possible

Thank you 😊

You can use the Image control in the component and then pass image context as a property in the NavItems collection.
