I want to add the text "No login? Please sign up first!" to the font page of my mobile app and when a user click on the text I want to jump to the "sign up" screen, how can I add an Event to a text component? Or should I use a completely different component to achieve this? Thanks.
Hi @rgroothuis, you can't add an event handler directly to the text component but you could:
- use a button component with no background color
- put the text in a container component which has event handlers
Hope that helps
Thanks for the solution, the button with no background color is the solution. The container trick didn't work for me for some reasons. But I've a way forward now. Thanks again.
I also am trying to use a container and have a text input within it - the events on the containers never seem to fire, and you also are unable to select what event you want to act on.
Any update on this one?
Thanks!
Hi @msd5079 Thanks for reaching out about this! Unfortunately, this is a Retool Mobile container bug that our team is looking into It currently works on the non-mobile version of Retool. Would the button with no background color work for now?
Hi @Tess -
Thanks for following up!
It was actually part of this little project: Retool Mobile 'Calendar' View - Community Show & Tell - Retool Forum
I've worked around it for now, but would still prefer the text element rather than a button, just due to the limited options as far as text/padding/spacing etc. With a text element, i could actually fit short descriptions, etc.
Thanks!
