**Hey guys, while I was creating my app I encountered a problem.**
_I am basically making a chat app, so all the chats are listed in a list so when I click a chat inside the list the messages should show up in a new screen/column but I dunno how to make a new screen/coloumn with events._

Hi, I don’t think you can create a new screen insitu. But can work around this using hidden columns and make it visible by event triggers. E.g, make a full page column1 to represent the main chat list. while the message column2 is made invisible. Then when the event happens, i,e click on the list, you simply hide column1 and make column2 visible.
