Expandable Text Panel

Donavon-Tinder wrote on 8/20/2020, 9:56 AM

I have looked in the online store for a text panel that will expand when customer clicks for more information. Does such a panel exist in XARA? I am looking to add text and show only a short segment of the text. If the user wishes to see more they can click on a button to expand the panel and show more. Maybe I searched by the wrong terms? If there is such a panel can someone point me in the right direction. Currently on Designer Pro X v15.

Hi and welcome to the forum

. . . . Does such a panel exist in XARA? . . . .

AFAIK there is no widget that creates a text panel that will expand with a 'Show more' button.

To create this would involves custom HTML code which you insert into a placeholder.

If you just want the viewer to be able to scroll through text in a panel see this tutorial - it is much easier to implement than a Show more button type, however not quite so elegant.
