Using the Any Component Button

[bobbyj12]

Good day. Perhaps someone could help me with the Any Component (button). As the screenshot shows, I have a button (empty box on left). When the button is pressed, it adds the text (box next to it) to the label to the far right. The setup is, 2 columns with individual rows in each. The column on the left has the button, text input box and a label naming the input. The column on the right shows the result when the button is pressed. There are 15 rows in each column. I would really like to use the Any Component for this since my app has slowed to a crawl. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

is this an issue of too many blocks? that would be something like 45 blocks only. On click, set label to, text input

Hi, have you already seen my Any Component tutorial?

@tatiang and @domhnallohanlon have both posted anycomponent tutorials recently.

Here is one example of a test project I made using their examples.

Help using anycomponent blocks to set variables

I had to play with this but it makes sense. I was able to reduce in a test app 16 to a single list saved in 1 variable. i will share the code and app here. it is a simple discrete trial teaching data collection tool used in an ABA therapy setting. currently the app is set up to measure 5 things in a % format. it only takes 18 blocks total and 0 extra variables per measure now instead of wayy more. I have also made use of the anycomponent blocks a lttle bit more! [Screen Shot 2020-01-23 at 1.…

AnyThoughts on how to Streamline code when using color changing buttons and dynamic labels and buttons

I’ve started a new demo app that includes some of this functionality @jared . Users can create profiles which include their user name, profile picture and dietary requirements (for example) [Screenshot_20200120-104734] There’s no input validation yet, but I’m just sharing this as an example of using the Any Component blocks to create the multiple choice buttons you mentioned: https://x.thunkable.com/copy/f21a68957395bf9aa24fd62a0b141c5e These are the blocks for setting an “active” diet…

Any Component blocks

In this video, I explain how to use Any Component blocks to change a corresponding label when a button is clicked. The button’s background is also changed to reflect that it was clicked. There is a link to the project on the title screen of the video.

@tatiang I just viewed the video. If this works, I owe you a case of beer.

[bobbyj12]

@domhnallohanlon I owe you one too.

[tatiang]

I don’t drink but if you make it root beer, you’re on!

[domhnallohanlon]

No worries - I’ll take @tatiang’s case too!

nevermind. I figured it out.
