Menu simple screen used only as a list of names

Hi, Is it possible to create a menu simple screen with a list of names but not have them progress to another screen when touched. I have a couple of menu simple screens that progress through the app but at some point I want a list that doesn't go any further. Is this possible because from the control menu it looks like i have to choose a new or existing screen

Hi, You could choose the same screen that the list of names is on. It works ok, but if you scroll down and select a name, the screen will 'refresh' back to the top of the list.

Just tried it and it does work but if they click on a lot of the list names they will have a long way to get back to the main screen

it's really simple, so you want it to just show one menu with a list of names, if they press it, it does nothing. yeah

the app will actually have about 100 of these type of screens but all coming from different screens so will have the same behaviour. But each list will just be one screen hope that makes sense.

Have you tried typing in a bogus name as the next screen?

A similar look can be achieved using an html page, if that is of any interest?

I did consider an HTML page and will probably go that way if all else fails, would like to see what Kittsy comes up with as using a bit of actual code would be cool and make me feel like I am learning more towards being able to actually code stuff : )

I was thinking of possible solutions to this and thought I would take a look at the BT_config.txt file in Xcode. After looking around it, I had worked out which bit creates the next page, so I created a test app with just a simple menu and about 5 objects on the menu all leading to the same page. the json code for one of the entries is this {"itemId":"1FBFA322BC126CB03299DF2", "itemType":"BT_menuItem", "loadScreenWithItemId":"6C960B0C40C4EFD2C29662F","titleText":"testing 5" , "rowAccessoryType":"none" } I removed the "loadScreenWithItemId":"6C960B0C40C4EFD2C29662F", part from about 3 of them and ran the app again in the simulator. This worked the 3 I removed it from no longer progress to another screen. The configuration data is now different on my Xcode project compared to my buzztouch control panel. Is there a way to make the buzztouch control panel match up with the changes i made in Xcode, I cant seem to edit the control panel version and as soon as I update the app in the simulator it reverts back to the buzztouch control panel version. I havent really got to grips with the json stuff yet as this is my first app
