The Easiest Way to Put in a Menu in Your Canvas App

I do have a popular video here: https://youtu.be/P5TQWgYaEc0

...where I walk through how to create a menu in canvas Power Apps. It is done the "right way" by creating it as a component, and I actually use what I create there in my own portrait template.

Just this morning, I had a comment on that video by @WeedsePoentah asking: "This seems like such an unconvential way, Is this not possible in a more direct way in powerapps?" My answer...?

There has never been a menu control, as of yet, in canvas Power Apps. However, Microsoft did release a new series of controls called the "modern controls", wherein you can find a "Tab List" control. You could use that as a menu. It even has an Alignment property where you can make it vertical.

I plan to make a video on this soon! 😋 ...have you guys looked at this control before?
