How to go to sub-menu using code ( not considering the current position )

[GoDotMad]

I want to move to a certain sub-menu whenever something happens regardless of the current position or level of the menu.

I think I should use the navRoot to check witch level it is and then set the target index and then do a entercmd but I'm not sure .

secondly , can I display more than one value with a label in a single line?

yes and yes

you can poke with the navRoot indeed, however there are also commands to move, and select by index, see the codeCtrl example here https://github.com/neu-rah/ArduinoMenu/blob/master/examples/codeCtrl/codeCtrl/codeCtrl.ino

if compiled with MENU_ASYNC defined at compiler command line then you have also async API

with some extra commands

escTo(int level) move back to level (if on higher level), useful to move to root escTo(0) . This will traverse all levels and emit respective events as if user escaping toll the desired level is reached.

async(const char* at) accepts a path of zero based indexes ie: "/0/1/0" and navigate to desired node, a transition from current state to the desired node is respected in terms of events. Can also add a final value to set field value or enumerated index, Async mode is default on esp8266 because of web interface.

You can combine multiple menu elements (usually fields) in a single line (PAD menu). Most examples include so as IP fields, or date/time fields, that are in reality just a set of fields.

hope it helps

Thanks I don't know why I didn't notice that when I was reading the " navigation " section of the wiki

[GoDotMad]

is there a reason why I can't do two .doNav() commands after each other?

[GoDotMad]

it turned out that I can't do enterCmd after idxCmd

any thing else is fine

[GoDotMad]

idxCmd does enterCmd before and after arriving to the selected index

is that how it is supposed to work?
