High light a line!

Post by drkidd22 »

Hello,

I'm trying to create a menu for my LCD (LK204-25).

I want to know how could it be possible for me to high light a line?

The user will be using UP/DOWN key to "scroll" the menu. I can send data to the LCD, I'm just trying to figure out how to high light a line. that's all
Thanks :jawdrop:

I'm new to display programming, but wouldnt it be possible to say make an arrow character of some sort, and have that move alongside the lines as the user press up or down? Or maybe have the selected line start and end with [ and ]. Not sure if blinking a line is possible, but if it is that would be the best solution imo.

Hi DrKidd22,

Thanks to Zyprexa, who is exactly right; while it is not possible to invert a line to create highlighted text, a special character(s) can definitely be used to signify the current line selection.
