Accordion menu is among those most commonly used menus on GUI. Let's learn how to create an Accordion menu without repeater with Mockplus.
Accordion menu is among those most commonly used menus on GUI. To make this kind of menu with prototyping tool, a repeater is in need. It’s difficult to achieve this even with the powerful Axure. But if you know something about Mockplus, you will be familiar with the “Panel”component built in it, with which one can create an accordion menu quickly in 3 steps.
Let’s see the operations:
Step 1: Select “Panel” Component and customize it
Find the “Panel” component on the left and drag it to the working area. To save time I put a “List” component in this panel and copy them for two times. Then, I name the second panel “Panel 2”, the third panel “Panel 3”.
Each register stop produces a separate sound timbre. See the accordion reed ranks and switches article for further explanation and audio samples. All but the smallest accordions usually have treble switches. The larger and more expensive accordions often also have bass switches. Classification of chromatic and piano type accordions. Checking out the condition of a used accordion: Except for the section about registers, this advice also applies to button accordions and concertinas that have no switches. Have a notepad and a pencil handy, so you can take notes as you go along, especially when you get around to checking out the reeds.
Panel: when resizing the panel, the size of its content doesn’t change.
Step 2: Build interactions
Reduce the three panels until there are only the header can be seen. Select the first panel and click “+” on the interaction setting place on the right of the interface and select “Panel”.Then, tap on “resize” and check the “auto recovery”. Enter the pixel number you need to expand the panel to its original size and the first interaction was built. This interaction enables the panel expand to show the full list when users clicking on the header.
Let’s turn to the second interaction.Select the “Panel”, click “+” on the right and select “Panel 2”. Tap on “move”and then check the “auto recovery”. Enter the pixel number you need to move the second panel when the first one expanding.
Step 3: Build interactions for panel 2 and 3 according to the above two steps
Now, a simple Accordion Menu is created. You can also add other components to this menu to make it beautiful.
Let’s see what interactions each panel has:
Panel:

Link to itself: resize
Link to Panel 2: move
Link to Panel 3: move
Panel 2
Link to itself: resize
Link to Panel 3: move
Panel 3
Link to itself: resize
Isn’t it easy? One panel component and two simple interactions create an accordion menu. Although Mockplus is an easy-to-use prototyping tool, with it you can realize many complicated interactions and achieve amazing effects.For more tutorials of Mockplus, please go to doc.mockplus.com, where you will get both text introductions and video tutorials.
