Configuration

The control accepts the following properties:

• SelectedKey - The key to select. This will be updated via the OnChange event when the user interacts with the control.
• Items - The action items to render
  • ItemDisplayName - The Display Name of the command/tab/menu item
  • ItemKey - The key to use to indicate which item is selected, and when adding sub items. The keys must be unique.
  • ItemEnabled - Set to false if the option is disabled
  • ItemVisible - Set to false if the option is not visible
  • ItemIconName - The Fluent UI icon to use (see Fluent UI icons)
  • ItemIconColor - The color to render the icon as (e.g. named, rgb or hex value)
  • ItemIconOnly - Do not show the text label - only the icon
  • ItemParentKey - Render the option as child item of another option
  • ItemExpanded - Set to false or true if the group should remain collapsed or expanded respectively.

Style Properties

• Theme - Accepts a JSON string that is generated using Fluent UI Theme Designer (windows.net). Leaving this blank will use the default theme defined by Power Apps.
• AccessibilityLabel - Screen reader aria-label
• CollapseByDefault - Set to True or False(On or Off) for all the group of Nav remain collapsed or expanded respectively. Individual Item level expand property is respected.

Event Properties

• InputEvent - An event to send to the control. E.g. SetFocus. See below.

Setting Focus on the control

When a new dialog is shown, and the default focus should be on the control, an explicit set focus will be needed.

To make calls to the input event, you can set a context variable that is bound to the Input Event property to a string that starts with SetFocus and followed by a random element to ensure that the app detects it as a change.

E.g.

UpdateContext({ctxResizableTextareaEvent:"SetFocus" & Text(Rand())}));

The context variable ctxResizableTextareaEvent would then be bound to the property Input Event property.

Example Theme

The following is an example of setting the theme based on the output from the Fluent UI Theme Designer (windows.net).

    themeDarkAlt: ColorValue("#106ebe"),
    themeDark: ColorValue("#005a9e"),
    themeDarker: ColorValue("#004578"),
    neutralLighterAlt: ColorValue("#faf9f8"),
    neutralLighter: ColorValue("#f3f2f1"),
