There was a very interesting article "hierarchical menus in embedded systems" on #160 ( nov 2003) issue of circuit cellar by aubrey kagan.
Has anyone try to port the code from this interesting article to CCS C?
I'm studying the code but it's full of unknowns for me unfortunately Shocked

It uses some dynamic C stuff which I don't understand also...

Maybe if you could share this article, you'll get more support Wink

I've found menu system which uses timer and change on port B interrupt, so you can use 4 keys.

This menu is very simple... no sub-menus, but you can find variables increasing functions integrated into menu and you can call your function by pressing on menu line choice.

There are also some repeat press hold function.

You can find source code from this very forum.

I can send Circuit Cellar num 160 in PDF to everyone interested in. I don't know how to attach PDF to my forum post.
It's very generic approach to menu system and relatively easy to change
menus so that's why I like it.
