Power Apps Tabs Containers & Groups

When creating your apps in Power Apps, sometimes you need tabs to break down the UI inside a screen. Today Darren & Barry will discuss what is involved in creating tabs in Power Apps. We'll also be discussing the topics of using containers and groups.

In Microsoft Power Apps, a group is a way to visually organize items on a screen. It allows you to group together related items and apply formatting to them as a single unit. For example, you might use a group to group together a set of fields on a form or a set of buttons on a toolbar. You can add a group to a screen by clicking the "Insert" tab in the ribbon and selecting the "Group" option.

A container, on the other hand, is a type of control that you can use to hold other controls. Containers are useful because they allow you to apply formatting and behavior to a set of controls as a single unit. For example, you might use a container to hold a set of fields on a form, and then set the container's background color and border style to give the fields a consistent look and feel. You can add a container to a screen by clicking the "Insert" tab in the ribbon and selecting the "Container" option.

In summary, a group is a visual organization tool that allows you to apply formatting to a set of items, while a container is a control that you can use to hold other controls and apply formatting and behavior to them as a single unit.

Power Apps Containers is a feature that allows you to create a custom container app in Microsoft Power Apps. You can use containers to organize and layout your app, and to create a more structured and intuitive user interface.

Here's how you can use Power Apps Containers:

1. Open Microsoft Power Apps and select "New" to create a new app.
2. In the "Choose a layout" screen, select "Custom layout" and then select "Create" to create a new custom layout app.
3. In the canvas, you can add a container by selecting the "Insert" tab and then selecting "Container" from the "Form controls" group.
4. You can then resize and position the container as desired.
5. To add controls to the container, you can drag and drop them from the "Insert" tab onto the container. You can also use the "Properties" pane to customize the appearance and behavior of the container and its controls.
6. You can add multiple containers to your app, and you can nest containers within other containers to create a more complex layout.
7. To customize the appearance of the container, you can use the "Properties" pane to change the background color, border, and other styling options.
8. To customize the behavior of the container, you can use the "Properties" pane to set conditions for when the container should be visible or hidden, and to specify how the container should behave when the user interacts with it.
