Here’s a demo that creates the look you’re going for: [Thunkable](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/2aeedd30f6b84cd903bdeeb0b9f0dbd9)

One of the frustrating limitations of Thunkable is that even though you _should_ be able to detect a row or column click, you can’t because those components are not listed in the Any Component “click” event block:

You can select a Group but… it looks like group components don’t exist anymore.

I [complained about this](https://community.thunkable.com/t/is-there-a-way-to-detect-a-click-in-a-cloned-group-or-container-using-layouts-beta/2105387) and submitted a [feature request](https://github.com/thunkable/thunkable-issues/issues/1180) two and a half years ago but it hasn’t been improved.

So… what to do? I guess you could create a custom Data Viewer List (DVL) layout since those have “click” event blocks.
