Idea Needed - Panel

Hi, I'm playing around with a panel to provide a sub-menu. there are 8 panel options and each will open a new page. Now I know I'm doing this a stupid way but at the moment I have.....

-Created my 8 pages (to give me something to link to)
-Created a panel on each page, 8 buttons per panel
-Individually going through each button, on each panel to add events.

The logical side of me tells me this is incredibly long-winded and that there must be a faster way?

Feel free to bombard me with 'what a stupid away of doing it' messages. All criticism and ideas gratefully received!

Hi,

There is an option to copy a page. You can click a wheel in front of your page to see this feature.

Hi Katya,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes I used the copy option before but in this instance if I create one page first, then I can only link to that page (because the others are not created). So if I use copy, then I would be copying a page with only one link. If that makes sense?

Ideally, I would be able to make all the pages, then make one panel with all the links and copy that into all the pages. But I don't think Appery can do that?

I don't know if there is a right answer tbh,

You can use a custom component. It can't be created from a Panel, but you can place all the links/buttons in one custom component and add it to every page in a panel.

Ahhhh, thank you.

I did this before but it wouldn't let me see if the events had copied.

I've just seen the 'Break Apart Custom Component' button which allowed me to inspect each button.

I'm really annoyed with myself now, so close! Thanks Katya
